The scholarship is available to students from Greene County High School and Sumter Central High School who have demonstrated strong leadership, a dedication to service, and a passion for making a positive impact in their communities. Designed to uplift and invest in the next generation, the scholarship highlights students who go beyond academics to lead, serve, and inspire others.
Established in honor of Christopher H. Spencer, the scholarship reflects a legacy rooted in ministry, youth development, and community empowerment. Spencer’s work has long focused on encouraging young people to grow into leaders who are grounded in faith, service, and compassion.
