For many years, we have dreamed about having a program that would encourage young Christians to start thinking, researching, and writing in the field of Christian apologetics.  We did not feel that donated money could be used for such a purpose, and we really had no other way to do it.  This past year Phyllis Clayton's mother (Edith Lawson) and John Clayton's aunt (Connie Parsons) passed away leaving money to be used in any way we see fit. We have decided to use a portion of this money to set up two $1000 scholarships which we hope will be awarded each year in memory of these two ladies who had such a positive influence on this program.

1. Applicants must be high school graduates who will be attending a college, technical school, or university in the fall of 2000
2. Applicants muyst submit a paper of 5000 words or less on the subject "Why I Believe What I Believe, and How I Plan to Use This Evidence to Help Others."  Papers will be graded on the following:
1. Validity of evidence presented.
2. Usefulness of the evidence in helping others believe.
3. Technical construction of the paper (documentation, spelling, clarity of expression, etc).
3. Applicants must be willing for their finished paper to be reproduced in this journal.
4. All papers and applications must be postmarked no later than May 1, 2000.
