Fern Bell Scholarship Fund

The Fern S. Bell Scholarship Fund (FBSF) was founded on the belief that all individuals should have the opportunity to have their lives enriched by a Mt. Airy Learning Tree course. This Fund allows MALT to offer a 25-50% scholarship to individuals in financial need.

Fern S. Bell was brought on board as a MALT staff member in 1986, the year MALT moved into its new quarters on Germantown Avenue in the basement of what had been an old post office (now the home of High Point Wholesale). During her tenure as Secretary at MALT, Fern weathered two floods, a robbery and other struggles of a small office. She loved the director's dog, Mindy, and going out for snacks of bagels and cream cheese from Carmen's across the street. In 1989, Fern suddenly took ill and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Sadly, she passed away later that year.
