Eighteen Baylor University ministerial students have been named the initial recipients of endowed scholarships made possible through a $4 million gift from the estate of Allene Hubler, who designated the money for Baylor’s ministry guidance program. Five are preparing for preaching and pastoral ministry, five for youth ministry, four for missions, three for preschool and children’s ministry and one for Christian counseling. Freshmen receiving the scholarship are Karington Buchanan of Dallas; Benjamin Hager of Port Neches; and Chris Gilchrist, Matt Hodges and David Lieberman, all of The Woodlands. Sophomore recipients are Richard Britt of Woodway; Caitie Compton of Murrieta, Calif.; Jaime Orth of Saginaw; Ryan Russell of Abilene; and Alison Sheffer of McKinney. Junior recipients are Luke Bryant and Jennifer Shaw, both of Arlington; Connor Schaars of Coppell; and Alex Tworkowski of Washington, D.C. Seniors receiving the scholarship are Anna Castleberry of Chesapeake, Va.; Meredith Monroe of Highland Village; Mike Quinlan of Coppell; and Audrey Waggoner of Raleigh, N.C. Scholarship recipients were selected on the basis of SAT scores and church leadership. More than 50 students submitted applications for scholarships for this school year. Scholarships are for $10,000 each school year. A portion of the Hubler gift also was designated to establish an endowed chair and an endowed professorship in the ministry guidance program. Jeter Basden, director of Baylor’s ministry guidance program, was named the the Raymond O. Hubler Chair of Ministry Guidance, and Dennis Horton, an associate professor of religion and associate director of ministry guidance, was named to the J. David Slover Professorship in Ministry Guidance.                 No comments for this article yet...
