| Thank You for Your Support! |
March Fellowship Madness at ASOR was (once again) a huge success. At the beginning of the month, we had funds from endowments and designated gifts to support 18 scholarships of $2,000. We set a goal of funding two more fellowships (or raising $4,000). Thanks to the support of our generous donors, we raised more then $6,000 and awarded 21 dig scholarships. A big THANK YOU to all of those who participated! Read more ...
