Puckett's Scholarship to Aid Women Entering Ministry

Gene Puckett and his wife Robbie have established a scholarship fund that will aid female students at Wake Forest University who are preparing for the ministry. Not people to attract attention to themselves, they named the scholarship in honor of Thomas Meredith, one of the founders of the North Carolina Baptist Convention.

Gene Puckett, a member of the Mainstream Baptist Hall of Fame, has long been a model of courageous journalism. Kudos to him and his wife for their concern to help women get an education that will equip them for the work of ministry.

Meredith was not only a founder of the NC Baptist convention; he was also an advocate for educating women. It is fitting that the scholarship was named after Meredith.
