Dear friends,
We at The Albert Baker Fund love supporting our scholarship recipients, and contributions from our generous donors make it all possible. We couldn’t be more grateful! We’ve been able to bless 407 students this year, here in the United States, as well as in Europe, Canada, the Philippines, and eleven countries in Africa. Your generosity is blessing the world through our dear scholarship recipients!
I suspect you might have a good idea of how much it means to our students of Christian Science to receive a scholarship that allows them to further their education. But we thought you’d enjoy hearing straight from the students:
“I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for The Albert Baker Fund’s support over these last four years. My college experience would not have been possible for me or my family without your continued support and encouragement.”
“I appreciate all of ABF’s work not just in my own life but in everyone else’s who you all have helped. It means a lot. You are a great organization.”

ABF scholarship recipients gathered at The Mother Church at Annual Meeting, June 2025.
“I am deeply grateful for The Albert Baker Fund’s support, which allowed me to pursue my graduate degree while balancing my commitments as a faculty member, study abroad director, and parent. This journey has reinforced my commitment to education as a force for good, and I look forward to paying forward the generosity I have received by mentoring and supporting future scholars in their own transformative learning paths.”
And from a Christian Science nursing student in Africa: “Your financial aid has relieved a significant burden off my shoulders, enabling me to focus on my academics without excess financial strain. I assure you that I am making the utmost use of this aid and striving towards academic excellence. I truly appreciate your trust and confidence in me.”

These are just a few examples of the gratitude from the very students you help support. We are so grateful to you for being the foundation of our efforts to invest in the education of Christian Science students.
