One or more Alsop Burruss Thornton scholarships are presented annually. The amounts vary. Both beginning and continuing students at universities and vocational schools are eligible to apply.

These scholarships are funded by money given to the church for this purpose by the late Rev. Norma Burruss. She was a long-time member of Shiloh Old Site, taught in the Fredericksburg city schools, and also served for a time in Liberia with the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention.
