BOLIVAR, Mo. – Southwest Baptist
University will benefit from a recent grant of $20,000 to the Missouri Colleges
Fund (MCF) from Edward Jones. This grant underwrites the Edward Jones Scholars
Program with scholarships to students attending one of the 17 MCF member
schools majoring in business-related studies. The scholarships will be awarded by the
member schools on the basis of financial need to outstanding qualified
students.
MCF
member schools are independent baccalaureate degree-granting liberal arts and
comprehensive colleges and universities in the state of Missouri. Their income
is derived primarily from private sources.
The
MCF was incorporated in 1952 as a partnership of private enterprise
and the member independent colleges and universities in the Show-Me State. The
Fund is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt corporation; therefore, all contributions to
the Fund are tax-deductible up to the limits prescribed by the law.
More information about MCF can be found online at www.mocollegesfund.org.
