The number and amount of scholarships awarded will depend on the number of accepted applications. However, all applicants who are selected and awarded the Tri-City Scholarship will receive a minimum of $1,000.

This is a one-time scholarship and will be awarded only to seniors graduating in the year the application is submitted who meet the following criteria:

​

• Attended Cumberland Elementary School

• Graduating from Harlan County High School

• Maintain passing grades

• Have satisfactory attendance (no excessive tardiness, absenteeism, or truancy)

• Submit a complete application

• ​

The goal of the Tri-City Scholarship is to assist as many students as possible from the Tri-City area of Cumberland, Benham, and Lynch, Kentucky, in affording college, technical, or trade school education.

​

All scholarship funds will be paid directly to the college, technical, or trade school the recipient attends during the summer or fall semester following the application deadline. Funds will not be given directly to the applicant. Exceptions may be considered, but they require approval from the Tri-City Scholarship Committee.

​

If a recipient fails to enroll in or attend a college, technical, or trade school, or fails to submit the required information by August 31 of the calendar year following the application deadline, the scholarship award will be forfeited.

​

Please note that scholarship funds are limited. Approval or denial will be based on the merits of the application and determined by the Tri-City Scholarship Fund Committee.
