Established in 1994 by Minister Sherman J. Butler, Sr., with the assistance of Mother Jimmie Will Butler and Nazarene All Nations Church, to encourage four (4) potential High School graduates. Mother Jimmie Will Butler followed in the ideals of her predecessors (Mother Mattie L. Branch, Mother Effie Bell and Overseer Cardelia Lawhorn - an educator) in furthering the education of the youth.
The Mattie L. Branch Scholarship Foundation understands that God has given students the intelligence to succeed and students have the drive to succeed - but the financial responsibilities create limitations. Our goal is to assist students in sharing such financial responsibilities of a college education.
