Born in 1879, the daughter of Thomas Maclellan and Helen Jardine of St. John, New Brunswick, Canada, Dora Maclellan moved to Chattanooga with her family in 1892. Her father assumed the Directorship of what was to become Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company, and now UnumProvident. |
Believing that her financial blessings should be used for the benefit of mankind, Dora Maclellan Brown established a Fund that would be expressly geared to Christian evangelism and the training of foot soldiers for God's front lines.
Mrs. Brown had a gentle sense of humor, a graciousness, a generosity, and a kindness that was lived out in her service to others. She was active in her community and church and desired that every person, young and old, have access to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
After a life filled with serving others, teaching Bible classes, and living simply and modestly, Dora Maclellan Brown died on February 24, 1974 at the age of 94. Those who were with her said that she died singing hymns. |

In memory of Mrs. Brown, the scholarship program was established to glorify God by providing for those He has called to His service.
The scholarships are available to Christian men and women:
- from the greater Chattanooga area
- who are theologically and biblically conservative,
- who are seeking a master’s degree at a theological seminary or graduate school approved by the Foundation.
The scholarship committee's preference is for candidates for the pulpit ministry, although applications for other ministry training will be considered. Applications for scholarships for doctoral programs are not considered.
Scholarships are awarded based on merit and need. They are granted usually for two to four years depending on the duration of the degree program. For grants to be renewed, scholars must make satisfactory grades and report those grades each term to the Foundation.
- The two-page Application,
- Letter of Testimony,
- Letter of Evidence of Call,
- Grade Transcripts, and
- Two Letters of Reference
...must be received at the Foundation office by February 15th. Interviews will be completed by April 15th and candidates will be notified of a decision by April 30th.
The board members of the Foundation hope that the partnership formed between the Foundation and each scholarship recipient will be a life-long relationship. Throughout the duration of the scholarship, the Foundation requires that Dora Maclellan Brown Scholars keep the Foundation informed as to how the Scholar is doing and how board and staff members can best pray for each Scholar.
After graduation and beyond, CCCF expects to remain in touch with alumni Scholars, and expects to continue to pray for them. Alumni Scholars over the years make excellent recommendations of future DMB Scholars.
