Three students from Upper Columbia Conference received the $500 Caring Heart Award scholarship, made possible through three-way funding from North Pacific Union, local conferences and academies. Angie Buursma (Upper Columbia Academy), Meghan Davis (Cascade Christian Academy), and Clara Scully (Walla Walla Valley Academy) were selected by their schools for exemplifying the spirit of the Caring Heart — a willingness to serve others. Each student is gifted with a plaque and an engraved Bible, courtesy of North American Division. The scholarship funds may be used toward tuition at an Adventist school or on a short-term mission trip. To read the full story, see news.uccsda.org/caringheart724.
