2022 Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Event Features

‘Garden Party’

The 2022 Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship event benefiting Seminary of the Southwest was held March 3, 2022 at Evelyn’s Park Conservancy in Bellaire, Texas.

This scholarship covers tuition and living expenses for women of color attending Seminary of the Southwest in preparation for priesthood in the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. This year was the first time the Houston area has hosted a fundraiser benefiting this scholarship, and the event was “garden party” themed in Murray’s honor.

The inaugural event was held in Austin in 2019 and was deemed a great success. The honoree for the event was the Honorable U.S. District Judge Vanessa D. Gilmore, now retired. The seminary looks forward to all parishes participating in some way in the future. Visit texaspaulimurray.org for more information.
