Clara McCartt Scholarship Fund
This scholarship fund was formed in honor of Clara McCartt, who was instrumental in forming Kentucky Baptist Secretaries Association (the predecessor to Baptist Ministry Assistants of Kentucky). It provides financial assistance to the children of BMAK members attending Kentucky Baptist colleges. Scholarship distributions were awarded from the fund for the first time during the 2004-05 school year.
Contributions to the fund can be made directly through BMAK, and may be designated in honor or memory of a loved one. Consider contributing to the Clara McCartt Scholarship fund to further the education of Kentucky Baptist students.
