Dr. Troutt and his wife, Mary Katherine (know as Ms. Kitty to many), were kind and committed supporters of First Baptist Gallatin. This scholarship was established by the Troutt family to help worthy students accomplish their goals of benefitting mankind.

Mrs. Boyd loved First Baptist Gallatin and supported youth programs by teaching Sunday School, G.A.'s, and VBS. Her scholarship is a continuation of her lifetime devotion to the work of the church. Candidates can be seniors or students already in college, technical school, or trade school.

Paula's family has established this scholarship in her honor and memory, and to recognize her lifelong love of First Baptist and music. This scholarship will be awarded annually to a worthy student who is seeking to further his/her education in the field of music or the arts.
