Tell me more about the scholarship fund :
​
The Jane Loring Jones Scholarship Fund was founded Sept. 28, 1953, by the women of the Amoma Sunday School Class of Broadway Baptist Church, Denver, Colorado, and by her son, Norwood Loring Jones and his family. Jane Loring Jones served the Broadway Baptist Church faithfully for 32 years as a teacher and counselor. The Scholarship perpetuates her lifelong interest in helping consecrated Christian young women further their education in preparation for their life as Christian leaders in the home, church and community.
The American Baptist Women of Colorado (ABWM) adopted the Jane Loring Jones Scholarship Fund in 1954 as a state project. The principal of the Fund is placed in sound investments and the income used exclusively for scholarships each year.

The amount awarded will be applied to the student’s account and sent each semester/quarter directly to the recipient’s chosen institution.
