REPORT OF THE ST. MARY'S COUNTY SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE

The St. Mary's Scholarship Committee administers a fund for minority students residing in St. Mary's County, Maryland . The Committee held its annual meeting at Trinity Church , St. Mary's City on May 4, 2004 . Five graduating high school applicants were interviewed, and three renewal applications were received from current scholarship students who are currently attend college. The Committee recommended to Bishop Chane that $8,000 be allocated to seven students. This year's students attend the University of Maryland , College Park ; Morgan State University ; Shepherd College ; Towson University ; Delaware State University and the College of Southern Maryland .

This is the first year the Committee has simplified its application and opened again applications to graduating high school seniors with the goal of offering fewer grants in larger amounts.
