| In its beginnings, SIM funding came primarily from Connecticut, but was distributed to students from all over the nation. One of the Society's funds in particular was designated specifically for students at Trinity College or [[berkeley_divinity_school|Berkeley Divinity School]], and provided around $10,000 in assistance. The Society placed ads for its services in //[[tablet|The Trinity Tablet]]// and its scholarships were listed in the //Catalogue of Trinity College// as well. | In its beginnings, SIM funding came primarily from Connecticut, but was distributed to students from all over the nation.
