The Carl Lotz Scholarship was set up as a result of an amazing gift to St John's Evangelical Church. Funds were set aside to pay for scholarships to St John's church members furthering their education. St John's believes in responsible stewardship and has opened up the scholarship process to all students in Hardin County. The St John's congregation believes in furthering education, success and giving all glory to GOD. As stated in Colossians 3:23-24 "and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ". St John's wants to assist dedicated individuals wishing to further educate themselves, in the field of their choice, while remaining in GOD's grace.

PURPOSE: To provide a scholarship to a Hardin County student or church member who plans to further their education and/or training for their career.
