The endowments are used to provide financial assistance to people in need in the following ways:

• To support non-profit, Christian and/or Medical Ministries, Church ad mission projects and medical assistance and clinics to help people physically, medically, mentally and spiritually who are in need.
• To support 501c3 philanthropic, medical and/or Christian-based projects and missions, churches and other non-profit programs whose main goal is to help those in need.
• To provide financial assistance to non-profit schools, universities and seminaries to assist those desiring to become a medical professional with the goal of helping others through missions, spiritual training, and healthcare education.

• Thank you so much for awarding me out of many others I am sure qualified. I really and truly appreciate it. I cannot thank you enough for such a blessing and your generous contribution. I will continue to be forever grateful and in the future to come "take care of people!" Again, thank you and God bless. 
• Your endowment creates opportunities for students to fulfill their dr4eams. The spring of 2017, Lone Star College hosted the largest graduating class to date with nearly 8,000 students earning a degree or certificate from one of our campuses. We applaud your role in helping our students achieve their goals. 
• The scholarship you have provided to me is a wonderful blessing to have received on this long journey to become a nurse. The scholarship is yet another wonderful blessing and fit in my life. It has afforded me the opportunity to continue to follow my dream and because of it, I will continue to give my best not only to my education but also to the patients I will one day care for. Thank you again for your generous scholarship.
