Noble REMC recently awarded three $1,000 scholarships to help students in our community further their education. 

To be eligible, the recipients’ parents or guardians must be members of Noble REMC. Candidates were judged anonymously based on grade point average, a short autobiography and letters of recommendation, as well as their involvement at school and in the community.
