About the scholarship, via John Lund: “When our daughter Lauren died, Mary and I started a Lauren Lund Memorial Scholarship Fund as a way to help students in different areas of study. We gave one thousand dollars to Heartland Christian Academy per year for a number of years, and after Kingdom Builders School opened I have been giving each school one thousand dollars to help out worthy students in those schools. I gave some to some students in Uganda as well.”
