Before Frances started nursing school, there was a lot to consider. She says, “I could probably cry talking about it, but as I think about the financial piece, that probably felt the most scary to me.” Thanks to the generosity of people like you, Frances’s HOCF scholarships have covered nearly all of her nursing school expenses so far!

Despite thoroughly enjoying her years as a Student Ministry leader at First Presbyterian Church of Orlando, Frances Gray started to feel God calling her to a new realm of service: nursing. Many questions gnawed at her as she considered what her next steps might be, a major one being, “What does this look like financially?” Because of the generosity of people like you, she’s had the utter joy of receiving Heart of the City Foundation scholarships the last few years, alleviating her financial worries as she becomes a nurse.

We want to take a moment to express how exceptionally grateful we are for all of the Covenant Partners of who, over the last almost 47 years, have chosen to leave a legacy in the form of a scholarship fund. Their faithful generosity is a helping hand to each of these scholarship recipients, a reflection of God's love and kindness. Again, congratulations to each of this year's scholarship recipients!

As these students continue their academic journeys—whether they're graduating from high school, continuing their undergraduate and graduate degrees, or going back to school for the first time in a while—we're so honored to support them through our scholarship program. It's brave to start something new, to grow your heart and mind, and to learn to serve your community in the ways God is calling you to do. We couldn't be prouder of our 2026 scholarship recipients!

Who's excited for this incredible arts showcase in the intersection between art and faith? We love Arts Fellowship Orlando and have been left in awe by the Christian artists who have participated in the program over the last five years. We couldn't be more proud to help sponsor this arts ministry of our church, First Presbyterian Church of Orlando, each year.
