MTS alum, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Dorothy Sanders Wells made history in February of 2024 when she was elected as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi. Dr. Sanders Wells is the first woman and first Black person to hold the position. To honor Bishop Wells and her accomplishments, we have established the Bishop Dorothy Sanders Wells Women in Ministry Scholarship. We have set an ambitious goal of raising $50,000 in Dr. Wells’ honor to make this scholarship fund a reality. The following shows the available giving levels to accomplish this goal.
$5,000 or more annual gift
Gold Donor
$2,500 to $4,999 annual gift
Silver Donor
$1,000 to $2,499 annual gift
Purple Donor
up to $999
If we meet our goal of raising $50,000 by July 31, 2025, we will be able to award our first recipient in the
Fall 2025 semester.
We hope you will join one of the giving levels above. Doing so will bring joy to Bishop Wells, enhance the
mission of MTS, and sustain students for a lifetime of ministry.
Thank you for your gracious consideration, Rev. Dr. Jody Hill
President
