The scholarship money comes from Emma Norton herself. Concerned about the struggles of young women to obtain an education in the early 1900s, Emma Norton gave $25,000 in stocks and bonds to the Women's Home Missionary Society. Her stipulation with this generous gift in 1912 was that the money was to remain intact and that each year, half of the interest would be used for scholarships for women going into full-time Christian vocations. The other half of the interest would be used for a national mission. Emma Norton Services is the recipient of the 2010 national mission award. The stock account has grown since 1912 and hundreds of scholarships have been awarded over the years. The fund is managed by the Women's Division of the United Methodist Women. The Designated Fund Committee of the MN Conference United Methodist Women manages the distribution of the interest. CONGRATULATIONS to these five outstanding women in ministry.Faye Christensen, Chair,
