East Tennessee Foundation announces available scholarships for the 2012-2013 school year

East Tennessee Foundation (ETF) announces the availability of 36 different scholarships for the 2012-2013 school year. It is that time of year again when students frantically scope out available funds to help them achieve their dreams of a college education. East Tennessee Foundation (ETF) is proud to help those students make their dreams become a reality.

The 2012 East Tennessee Foundation Scholarship Guide and Application are now available at www.easttennesseefoundation.org.

ETF scholarship program requirements range from financial need to scholastic achievement. Several scholarships are targeted toward specific schools or counties, students involved in certain extracurricular activities, or those who may not display the highest scholastic rankings yet still possess great potential and motivation. Others are geared toward students pursuing a specific field, such as business or nursing.

In fall 2011, over $180,000 was disbursed in scholarship awards for 118 students attending 31 different colleges or universities. Scholarships provided through ETF help fulfill the dreams of those students wishing to obtain a secondary education, whether they are graduating high school seniors or returning adult students.

Scholarships administered by ETF allow individuals and groups to honor loved ones while helping change the lives of those pursuing higher education. Many of the scholarships have been established to honor the memory of a lost parent, spouse or child. Some have been founded to honor teachers, coaches or prominent community leaders.
