Little Rock Scripture Study recently awarded three, $1,000 scholarships to the following people who are completing their lay ministry studies:

• Heather Crouch is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in theology from St. Gregory's University in Shawnee, Oklahoma. She coordinates the young adult group at St. Peter the Fisherman Church in Mountain Home, as well as offers a support group for those in the parish with depression or other emotional needs.
• Megan Mayeux is also pursuing a bachelor’s degree in theology from St. Gregory's University. Crouch and Mayeux both do much of their course work through the Little Rock Theology Institute, along with summer programs at the campus in Oklahoma. Mayeux works at St. Joseph School in Paris and is active in her home parish of St. Mary Church in Altus.
• Carlee Darnell, a member of St. Mary Church in Hot Springs, attends Christian Brothers University in Memphis where she is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in religion and philosophy. Darnell hopes to pursue youth or young adult ministry after she graduates in 2019. She was recently awarded the De LaSalle Service Award that recognizes excellent student leadership.

Each year, Arkansas Catholic parishioners receive $1,000 scholarships from Little Rock Scripture Study to assist them in pursuing college degrees in fields such as theology, Scripture, sacred music, canon law, liturgy, pastoral administration or religious education.
