Apollos Scholarship Program
The Apollos Program derives its name from the young man from Alexandria who was fervent in the scriptures and eloquent in proclaiming the gospel but who needed additional education. Fortunately, he had two friends who were interested in helping him. They arranged for his further education so that he could proclaim the whole truth (Acts 18:24-26).

Apollos Scholarships Honor These Four Foundation Leaders 
The four named scholarships honor Eugne C. Dinsmore, Robert K. Adams, Silas G. Kessler, and Howard B. Dooley. These outstanding leaders preserved the assets of the Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Omaha and promoted its mission of education for clergy in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

The Marilyn A. Jackson Memorial Award provides support for pastoral leaders serving small Presbyterian churches within the four regional synods served by the Foundation.  First preference is for racial ethnic and minority students.
