The Community Foundation of Pulaski County recently announced the addition of a new scholarship.
The new Marjorie Barr Thompson Memorial Scholarship is for graduating Pulaski County residents seeking a degree in education or nursing, in that priority order. This scholarship was established by Mrs. Thompson’s family, in memory of her 28 years as an educator who focused on English, literature, and speech and drama at Eastern Pulaski School Corporation.
In addition to the Thompson scholarship, CFPC is proud to offer 40 other scholarships for students going into the trades, such as welding and construction, or pursuing a degree at an accredited institution of higher learning. More information about the scholarships offered, with detailed eligibility requirements can be found on the CFPC website at www.cfopc.org/scholarships. The Community Foundation encourages all graduating seniors to apply.
The CFPC Scholarship online applications for 2023 high school graduates will be available on the CFPC website this Friday, January 13. Applications may be found on the CFPC website along with “Frequently asked questions” to provide assistance to students with this important step toward higher education.
The deadline to submit online applications and required attachments is Friday, March 3rd at 3:00 p.m. ET.
