JONESBORO, Ark.— Employees at NEA Baptist now have an opportunity to receive additional financial aid while furthering their education.
The Wallace and Jama Fowler Memorial Scholarship is created through a $100,000 donation from Chris and Kim Fowler to honor the legacy of Mr. and Mrs. Fowler. The scholarship will provide full-time employees $2,500 for the year with a lifetime cap of $5,000. Applications are now open with a deadline to apply being August 5, 2022.
Wallace and Jama Fowler carried the reputation of going out of their way to help others succeed. Countless lives have been touched by their generosity and philanthropy through their business, and personally. “We were truly touched by the support and compassionate care my family received from the entire staff at NEA Baptist. They went above and beyond to treat my mom and dad like family, and Kim and I want to provide this scholarship as a way to give back and honor the legacy of my parents”, said Chris Fowler on the decision to provide the gift.
Recipients of The Wallace and Jama Fowler Memorial Scholarship must be full-time employees of NEA Baptist for at least 6 months prior to the beginning of the semester, and plan to remain a full-time employee for the duration of the scholarship.
