Kolton Parker Helbert Memorial Scholarship

On December 8, 2021 God called home a former member of SMCC.  Kolton Parker Helbert was only 27 when a tragic workplace accident took his life.  Kolton loved his God, studied His word, and showed God’s goodness to everyone he met.  Kolton’s employer, National Salvage & Service Corporation, contacted SMCC in 2023 to start a memorial scholarship in Kolton’s name and they committed to fund $2,500 annually.  

All applicants are encouraged to read Kolton's Biography.
