CFMT awards scholarships totaling $830,373 to 323 students for 2022-23 school year
The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT), a charitable organization working to improve the quality of life in 40 Middle Tennessee and three Kentucky counties, announced its scholarship program is helping to support 323 individual students pursuing secondary education at accredited schools throughout the United States.
In 2022-23, a total of $830,373 has been awarded from 97 different scholarship funds.
The students are attending 162 unique colleges and universities from 33 states.
“Making the decision to further one’s education is one of the most empowering decisions an individual can make, but the financial costs associated with education make it unattainable for many,” Kelly Pietkiewicz CFMT Scholarship Coordinator said. “At The Community Foundation, our generous scholarship donors empower hundreds of recipients with their unique funds reaching a variety of students across Middle Tennessee and the nation.”
Congratulations to the 2022 scholarship recipients from Montgomery County:
Maggie Looney, of Adams, from Rossview High School, received the Scott Wolf Scholarship to attend Austin Peay State University.
Mary Jocelyn, of Clarksville, from Virginia Beach, Va., received the William Thomas (Bill) McHugh and Lou Gower McHugh Scholarship to attend the University of Kentucky.
