Investing in the Future: Chapel Scholarships

For over four decades, Big Canoe Chapel has been committed to investing in the future of our community by awarding millions of dollars in scholarships to deserving seniors living in Pickens and Dawson counties.

We believe in empowering the next generation to pursue their educational goals. In addition to general Chapel grants, we administer special awards like the Joe Dodd Memorial Scholarship and the Sally Shannon Memorial Scholarship, established by loving families to honor their legacies through education.
