Star Supporter Scholarship/Loan
About the fund
Two visionaries, the Rev. Lorenzo J. Evans and Alfred C. Stone, conceived of the idea to develop a scholarship fund to be used for the education of Black pastors. Starting in 1949, attendees of the National Convocation were approached for a $10 minimum donation. At that time, only a handful of pastors were seminary trained. Stone and Evans wanted to change this and have been eminently successful.
