The Howard Cox and Donald E. Crooks Memorial Scholarship is an outreach Program under the patronage of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in West Palm Beach, Florida. It was established in 2015. Its mission is to encourage the pursuit of academic excellence, to recognize and honor annually, one qualified college bound senior from St Christopher’s and one qualified college bound senior from a school within the local community. 

​

The Program is funded solely by donations whose generosity are greatly appreciated.  Since inception over $17,000 has been awarded to deserving students. 

 

We are very grateful for the opportunity to play a small role in empowering youth to focus on their education and desire to succeed.  Children are our future. A solid educational foundation promotes personal growth, civic responsibility and economic enrichment.
