Community Foundation Scholarship Portal Open To UC Students

The application portal for Upper Cumberland students to apply for a Community Foundation Scholarship is open.

Community Relations Director Pat Embry said last year, over 20 undergraduate Tennessee Tech students received a scholarship. Four of which come from Putnam County.

“We have 150 different scholarship funds and since Cookeville is particularly a college town, getting a good solid education should be at the top of mind for everybody,” Embry said.

Embry said the deadline to apply comes February 1st. Embry said a wide range of fields of study from teaching to engineering can qualify. You can apply by visiting the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee website under the grants and scholarships tab.

Embry said a scholarship committee will review applications with recipients announced in April.

The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee based in Nashville uses charitable funds to support nonprofits and students across the state.
