Pearl McPherson Spencer Scholarship

The Pearl McPherson Spencer Scholarship was established in 2003 by her daughter, Thelma Spencer, in honor of her mother’s love of education. Pearl firmly believed that literacy was a gift from God and that teaching was a noble profession. She died at the age of 91 in 1991. Thelma, a retired education consultant and close friend of the school, received her Doctorate in Education from CU Boulder in 1972. Eligible students should be Master’s students who have taught for several years and plan to continue teaching as a career.
