CFMT Awards Scholarships Totaling $736K to 331 Students for 2023-24 School Year

Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, a charitable organization working to improve the quality of life in 40 Middle Tennessee and three Kentucky counties, is awarding scholarships to 331 individual students pursuing secondary education at accredited schools throughout the United States.
CFMT scholarships, established by individuals, companies and civic groups, will 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.
The students are attending 160 unique colleges and universities.
“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,” said Kelly Pietkiewicz, CFMT Scholarship Coordinator. “At 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.”
