Welter was the  first woman to graduate from North Park Theological Seminary, but her  photograph was not included with the rest of the students, says  Gilliard. &#8220;We wanted people to know her.&#8221; Welter&#8217;s picture will be  unveiled at 10 a.m. March 6 in the school&#8217;s Olsson Lounge, where it will  be on permanent display. A 9:30 a.m. chapel service will recall her  story. To read more of this award, please see <a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/cov\/news\/item4786.html\">Scholarship.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Anderson\/Nordlund Missionary Scholarship  will provide $500 for  continuing education to a female missionary. The scholarship is named in  honor of Covenant missionaries Martha Anderson and Esther Nordlund, who  were murdered by bandits in 1948 in China. The scholarship will first be  awarded in 2007.<\/li>\n<li>The Phoebe Church Planters Grant will provide a church planter with  $1,000. The grant is named after Phoebe, to whom Paul refers in Romans  16, telling the church to &#8220;assist her in whatever matters she has need  of.&#8221; The grant will be offered this year. To read more about this award,  please see <a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/cov\/news\/item4785.html\">Grant.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Priscilla Grant of $1,000 will honor the woman who led a house  church with her husband, Aquila. The grant will first be offered in 2007.<\/li>\n<li>The Evelyn M.R. Johnson Leadership Award will be given to a woman  leader in an unspecified area of ministry. The category is broad,  befitting the woman for whom it is named, says Gilliard. Johnson is the  denomination&#8217;s first woman conference superintendent. To read more of  this award, please see <a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/cov\/news\/item4784.html\">Leadership.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Mordecai Award will be given to honor a man who has &#8220;partnered  with women leaders in support, advocacy and mentoring,&#8221; Gilliard says.  The award is named after the man who mentored Esther and will first be  given in 2007.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of the honorees will be recognized during the ACCW Annual Meeting as  part of the June Annual Meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
