One Application. Endless Possibilities.

Invest in your dreams and tap into your potential for an even brighter tomorrow!

Choosing to pursue higher education is an empowering decision, but the financial burden can make it seem unattainable. Our generous fundholders annually support hundreds of recipients through their unique scholarship opportunities, reaching a variety of students across Middle Tennessee and throughout the nation.

Currently, CFMT administers more than 160 different scholarship funds for students. These funds have been established to help students from a particular school or area, students pursuing a specific field of study, students with significant financial need and many other qualifications. We encourage all students from Middle Tennessee pursuing a college degree to apply for CFMT’s scholarship program.

It has helped me to focus on my education and I am very grateful for all this foundation has done to provide me with the opportunity to have this experience. The application process is straightforward and the staff have been very helpful answering any questions.”
