Asher Scholarship Awarded

Monte Chitty was recently awarded the Louis F. Asher scholarship. Monte is a student in the Master of Arts in Theological Studies program. He completed 18 hours of course work during his first semester while doing excellent academic work. He expects to graduate from BMA Seminary this May.

The Asher scholarship is awarded every spring on the basis of outstanding academic work during a student's first semester. The scholarship is named for Dr. Louis F. Asher (B.D. '64), long time Professor of Biblical Studies and Church History at BMA Seminary. He is noted for his biography of John Clarke, the first Baptist minister to come to America. The scholarship is sponsored by Glenfawn Baptist Church in Cushing, Texas, where Dr. Asher pastored for many years.
