The Minneapolis St. Paul Chapter is pleased to announce a new scholarship created to provide financial assistance to qualifying members for the express purpose of participating in educational programs during the SDA national convention.

Carol Powers-Ernst was a valued member who was instrumental in keeping our chapter going in the early nineties when it was close to folding.  She held offices; she sought out educational speakers for meetings and mentored many of us along the way. Her firm, Michaud Cooley Erickson, supported her through her efforts and was a host for many gatherings of the Chapter.

After a courageous battle with ovarian cancer, Carol passed away on August 19, 2000.  This scholarship is named after her and the spirit she gave to everything she did.
