MEMORIAL STUDENT AID FUND

This first manse for First Presbyterian Church was built by funds raised by the first Ladie's Aid Society about 1935. Eventually it was sold and the $2000.00 was turned over to the College Circle. In 1969 the Memorial Student Aid Fund was established with the provision that the principal would remain intact and only the interest used for college scholarship aid. Through the years the principal has increased through memorial donations and funds transferred from Presbyterian Women. Currently, the funds are invested through memorial donations and funds transferred from Presbyterian Church (USA) Foundation.

The only requirement for receiving a scholarship from the Memorial Student Aid Fund is that the student be a member of First Presbyterian Church of Las Cruces.

Until the spring of 1998, we were giving scholarships to only one or two students each year - 46 scholarships have been given over the years. In the spring of 1998, the committtee and with the approval of Presbyterian Women Coordinating Team decided our thirteen college students needed to know that we truly care about them. So, Valentine cards were sent containing financial gifts for each student.
