* Background
Each year since 1949, a deaconess scholarship has been granted. In 1974, this scholarship was named the “Jo Carman Deaconess Scholarship” in memory of our tenth district president. In circa 1994, this grant was joined with the LCMS South Dakota District’s Student Endowment Fund, to grant aid to those students who are communicant members in congregations of the LCMS South Dakota District, and who are preparing to serve the church as pastors, teachers, or other full-time servants to the Church, at one of the schools operated by the Synod. This grant, along with the State Fair Puppet Place Ministry and the “Today’s Light” subscription for the South Dakota Women’s Prison grants, are ongoing grants of the LWML SD District."
