Founded by St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Utica, MD for Church members.

Aimée Bell Harper was a teacher and librarian in Montgomery County schools for over 40 years. As a member of St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church of Utica, Maryland, she taught Sunday school and helped to create the Church’s beautiful library, still in use today some 40 years later. Aimée Bell Harper’s dedication to learning was legendary, and she even went so far as to leave a bequest to the Church to provide its members with scholarships. After her passing, the church created The Aimée Bell Harper Scholarship Fund to benefit graduating seniors who are members of its congregation.
