The Dona Thornton Scholarship supports elementary education majors at PBA with financial need who are committed to teaching in the local community after graduation.

This scholarship honors the legacy of Dr. Dona Thornton, who inspired generations of students during decades of service at PBA. By providing financial assistance to students who commit to teaching locally, the Dona Thornton Scholarship helps prepare future educators who will make lasting impacts on the lives of students in our community.

At a time when the need for teachers with a Christian worldview has never been greater, your support will help aspiring teachers focus on their educational studies without the burden of financial stress. Your gift will empower them to become the next generation of leaders in education, just as Dona Thornton was at PBA.
