AZUSA,
California--The Ambassador Center announces a new scholarship to help WCG members with
special financial needs to earn a bachelor of arts degree at Azusa Pacific University.
Crown Legacy Foundation will provide a $5,000 annual grant as the Mark Zebrowski and
Geraldyne Zebrowski Memorial Scholarship.
Mark Stephen Zebrowski loved God, family, church, computers and music. He provided a great example of friendship, greeting friends and acquaintances with his big, warm smile. He loved playing drums, and as a teen he served with WCG church youths at various juvenile homes and senior citizens centers. He graduated from Ambassador University in Big Sandy, Texas, in 1977.
Mark died of cancer Jan. 11, 1999. He is survived by his wife, Brenda; their daughter, Remy; and son, Nathan; his sister, Wendy; and his brother, Dan.
Geraldyne Zebrowski, Mark's mother, was known for her hospitality and service in the Long Beach, California, congregation. As a widow, she worked hard to provide for her children and inspired them to higher education and commitment to God. Mrs. Zebrowski followed her son Mark in death Feb. 24.
The $5,000 scholarship from the Crown Legacy Foundation will be in addition to the $5,000 WCG scholarship. It will be awarded to a financially needy student who has demonstrated a servant's heart for Jesus and his people. The student must have a commitment to graduate from APU and to serve as a member of the WCG. The scholarship is renewable for one year if financial need continues and personal commitment has been demonstrated.
If a recipient is unable to enroll at APU for any reason, he or she may reapply for future consideration.
