Jasper Melton Scholarship Fund
Jasper Melton was actively involved in many activities at St. Andrew’s. One of his primary interests was volunteering with Tucson Refugee Ministry where he began tutoring programs for children of refugee families. This scholarship fund was established to honor Jasper’s memory and continue his efforts to help these students.

The Jasper Melton Scholarship Fund for refugees attending a fouryear university has helped three students complete their degrees. Maree Reh graduated from UA in May 2021 with her Bachelor’s in Public Health. This past December, Lu Reh received his Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering (ASU), and Ryann Buloe received his
Bachelor’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Magna Cum Laude (UA). Another student, Bu Meh, Lu Reh’s sister, will complete her undergraduate degree in Pharmacology (UA) in May. These students all come from Burmese Christian families and spent their early years in a refugee camp in the jungles of Thailand.
If you would like to contribute, please make your check payable to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and write “Melton Scholarship Fund” in the memo line.
