“The Community Foundation has helped thousands access educational opportunities they might otherwise have been unable to afford by connecting them with the generosity of others,” said Ellen Lehman, president of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “This year we are honored to help hundreds more improve their futures, and the futures of their families, through the transformation offered by an education.”
Individuals, companies and civic groups who want to assist students with tuition and other school-related expenses entrust the Community Foundation to establish and administer scholarship funds. Each year, The Community Foundation’s scholarship committee reviews applications and awards scholarships based on applicants’ academic records, test scores, extracurricular activities, work experience, community involvement and personal recommendations.
