The CFMT is a charitable organization working to improve the quality of life in 40 Middle Tennessee and three Kentucky counties. They are helping to support 321 individual students pursuing secondary education at accredited schools throughout the United States.
The Community Foundation scholarships, established by individuals, companies and civic groups, assist students with tuition and other school-related expenses. Each year, The Community Foundation scholarship committee reviews applications on behalf of donors who entrust The Foundation with administering the annual awards.
In 2021, a total of $745,000 has been awarded from 102 different scholarship funds.
The students are attending 151 unique colleges and universities from 31 states, with three international students from Canada.
“Getting an education is one of the most important milestones in life, but for many, it comes with a great burden,” said Ellen Lehman, president of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “We feel honored to help students receive a quality education, made possible by donors who wish to make a difference. It is a privilege to connect generosity with need in this way.”
