Brady Scholarship Applications for 2025-26 academic year

Saguaro Christian Church has been the recipient of generous hearts and wise stewardship from long-time members, Allan and Marie Brady. Known for their astute investments and careful spending, Allan and Marie found themselves in a position to make major gifts to the Disciples' church causes dear to them. Upon the settlement of the Brady’s estate in 2000, Saguaro Christian Church received an endowment (perpetual fund) that provides our church with an enduring pledge and income each year to do projects above and beyond our ordinary budget. Allan and Marie designated ministry areas of special interest to them for the use of the endowment income.  

These interests include encouraging higher education. Part of the Creative Ministries area was designated for scholarships to support Disciples students in Tucson, with priority being given to Saguaro Christian members. The Brady Scholarship funds are inclusive of most post-high school kinds of education, from short-term continuing education opportunities to technical schools; from undergraduate to postgraduate schools. We are excited that we can afford Disciples students this opportunity to mature in both faith and knowledge.

We are now accepting applications for the Brady Scholarship. To be considered for the 2025-26 academic year, recipients who were awarded a scholarship for the 2024-25 academic year must submit a “Continuing Student” application, and new applicants must submit a “New Student” application.  The appropriate application forms are available from the church office and must be completed and submitted to the office by June 10, 2025 in order to be considered. The Brady Scholarship awards will be made in mid-July.
