Phipps Family Scholarship

Kelly and Kim Phipps have spent their lives devoted to students and to Christian higher education. Kelly led the most successful fundraising campaign in the history of Messiah as Director of Development. After serving as Provost, Kim was unanimously selected by the Board of Trustees to lead Messiah in a difficult time of transition. In the two decades since Kim first became President of Messiah, she and Kelly have had a transformative influence on Messiah. Kelly and Kim also have demonstrated exemplary service to local, regional, and national communities through their advocacy for Alzheimer’s awareness, the arts, higher education, and community support services. Their impact on Messiah is profound and lasting. It seems only fitting that their daughter, Brooke, has chosen the vocation of teaching and scholarship. She will no doubt continue the Phipps’ legacy of commitment to students, to learning, and to God’s world. Kim and Kelly established the Phipps Family Endowed Scholarship Endowment to benefit students who demonstrate financial need and are in good academic standing.

Please note: Because of a special matching opportunity, all donations will be matched, dollar-for-dollar.
