BOWMAN FAMILY REUNION
SCHOLARSHIP
“I will bless you and your children more and more” Psalm 115:14
Dear Bowman Family Members,
Since 2005 members of the Bowman Family have contributed monies to support a scholarship fund for Bowman family members. The book scholarship guidelines for blood family members were presented for the first time at the 2009 Bowman Family Reunion in Houston, TX. Since that time our family has continued to support our graduates to pursuit a quality education at an accredited institution. Please consider a gift, of any size, so that we can continue to grant book scholarships to our young scholars.
