GOSHEN, Ind.—Mennonite Mutual Aid announced the 36 recipients of the MMA College Scholarship, a program that encourages young people to explore the concept of biblical stewardship while helping them continue forward on their educational journey.

To be considered for the awards, 135 students from across the country submitted essays on holistic stewardship and how it impacts them.

Jessica High of Ephrata (Pa.) Mennonite Church, received the $2,500 Howard Brenneman College Scholarship, named for the retired MMA president who was passionate about holistic stewardship. She attends Eastern Mennonite University.

Three students received $1,500, 10 received $1,000, and 22 received $500 for the 2007-2008 school year.

The recipients come from a range of denominations served by MMA, and many are attending Anabaptist educational institutions.
