Endowed scholarship established at Central Baptist College
CONWAY — Central Baptist College President Terry Kimbrow has announced the creation of the Maggie Chandler Endowed Scholarship, established by Maggie’s husband, Don Chandler, and the Chandler family. Priority in awarding the Maggie Chandler Endowed Scholarship will be given to a male or female member of Central Baptist Church in Conway who is seeking a degree in ministry.
Maggie had a varied career in work and ministry. She attended Central Baptist College in Conway and graduated with an Associate of Arts degree. She served as an administrative assistant for Gov. Mike Huckabee, worked for several years in state government, and wrote and took part in TV shows for Lifeword Broadcast Ministries.
For almost 30 years, she wrote a weekly article titled “I Wish I’d Said That” for the Baptist Trumpet newspaper and created a study guide to the book of Revelation on cassette tape. In her home church, Central Baptist of Conway, she served as a Life Group teacher for 40 years and worked with women’s ministries. “Maggie’s legacy of loving God and loving people will remain in perpetuity through this endowed fund at Central Baptist College through the students who benefit from the scholarships it produces each year,” CBC President Terry Kimbrow said.
Maggie and Don Chandler were married for 53 years. Their children are Lori Kulbeth and her husband, Donnie; Michael Chandler and his wife, Shelly; and Marlo Atwell and her husband, Cory. Maggie and Don also have seven grandchildren: Matt Kulbeth, Zach Kulbeth, Gabe Chandler, Noah Chandler, Luke Chandler, Chanley Atwell and Nate Atwell.
Endowed scholarships are awarded by vote of the CBC Scholarship Committee, taking into account the qualifications and eligibility of the applicants as detailed in the scholarship agreement.
Memorial gifts to the Maggie Chandler Endowed Scholarship Fund can be sent to Central Baptist College, 1501 College Ave., Conway, AR 72034, with checks made payable to Central Baptist College with “Maggie Chandler Endowed Scholarship” indicated on the memo line.
