Description

The Cannon Endowment Scholarship Fund for Military Chaplains was established in 1992 through a gift from Dr. Clinton Cannon, an army retiree and lay member of the Washington North Idaho Conference of the United Church of Christ. Dr. Cannon appreciated the ministry of chaplains during his career and wanted to ensure the future availability of chaplains to serve military personnel and their families.  The Cannon Endowment provides scholarship assistance to seminarians planning to become military chaplains.  Applicants must meet the general requirements, or the equivalent, if they are from other faith communities.
