Today, the Boswell Family Charitable Foundation proudly announces the recipients of the 2025-2026 Boswell Family Scholarship and the Eron L. Coleman STEM Scholarship. We share this announcement with immense gratitude, knowing that our Christ-centered mission to further Christ’s Kingdom through education is only possible because of the donors, volunteers, and community members who invest in our foundation.
