PARSONS -- The Tucker Community Foundation is offering more than 40 scholarships for high school and college students in eight local counties.
TCF Interim Executive Director Michael Moore encourages all high school and college students to apply even if their educational needs do not align with a particular fund.
High school seniors, college students, students attending technical schools and other non-traditional students (e.g., adults returning to school) are encouraged to apply for a Tucker Community Foundation scholarship regardless of their field of study.
The scholarships are available for high school and college students in Barbour, Grant, Mineral, Preston, Pocahontas, Randolph and Tucker counties in West Virginia and Garrett County in Maryland.
Scholarship awards will range from $500 to $10,000, with most in the $1,000 to $2,000 range.
Students can go to www.tuckerfoundation.net/endowed-funds/scholarships/ to download an application and view the list of scholarships. The deadline to apply for a TCF scholarship is Friday, March 11.
Applications are also available at the Foundation offices located in the Board of Education Annex at 100 Education Lane, Parsons. High school guidance counselors throughout the Foundation's service area also have applications for distribution to students.
The Tucker Community Foundation manages more than 140 endowed funds providing annual scholarships and grants to nonprofits and charitable causes throughout the eight-county service area.
Inspired by the flood of 1985, the mission of the Foundation is to create opportunities for the communities we serve.
