Merge - Alma Scholarship
The Alma Scholarship - by Merge Worship
This scholarship will support currently enrolled and prospective students of single-parent
homes, who attend Southern Adventist University.
This scholarship is named after the original Alma Award, which was established in
2008 at the Capital City Seventh-Day Adventist church in Sacramento, California. It
was named after the mother of the former senior pastor - Dr. Reginald Horton, who
wanted to honor his greatest example of unrelenting determination and commitment.
With grace and much prayer, she single-handedly raised three boys in the inner-city
of Memphis, Tennessee. This scholarship was part of a community outreach program targeting
single parents in need of financial assistance and served to build a bridge between
the local community and a church dedicated to aiding their tangible needs.
MERGE Worship, a student-focused and student-led worship service of the Collegedale
Seventh-day Adventist Church on Southern’s campus, is similarly inspired to directly
impact the lives of students choosing to defy the odds stacked against youth/young
adults of singleparent homes.
