About the Vera Gang Scott Scholarship
The Vera Gang Scholarship Fund was started in 1972 by the ECW Board of the Diocese of Texas with a gift – her life’s savings – from Vera Gang Scott. In the 1920’s Ms. Scott received aid for her undergraduate and graduate degrees from the women of Trinity Episcopal Church in Galveston. She kept careful track of all the money she received.
After starting work as a social worker, she repaid every cent, and that money became the seed for the Vera Gang Scott Scholarship Fund. Ms. Scott’s dream was to help others just as she had been helped. Although she lived in many states, Ms. Scott always considered herself a Texan. She led an active life as an educator and continued to be involved in service to others. Vera Gang Scott was very proud that a school was named after her in Colorado Springs.
