Joe and Margaret Frazier were blessed greatly during their lives and through this endowment, sought to share these blessings with others. Education was very important to them, and so they sought to make a financial impact on students in Jeff Davis and Appling Counties to help provide for their education.

The Frazier Scholarship is open to students engaged in post-high-school studies and/or graduate/professional studies. Hazlehurst First Methodist Church has the responsibility to disburse and manage the funds for this scholarship, and as such, desires to make a difference in the lives of these student applicants.

In the reference letters and the essay, we will weigh your application based on your Christian character, your financial need, and your academic ability.

Applicant must be a legal resident of Jeff Davis or Appling County.
Thereafter, any scholarship recipient is eligible to reapply for another installment regardless of their permanent address location until they are done with their current course of study.
Scholarship dollars are to be used to cover cost of tuition, books, and fees.
Applicants for scholarship must maintain at least a 2.0 GPA over their current course of study.
A copy of your schedule of classes is required to be received at the church office before checks are available to students in September 2025.
