Who is eligible

“No restriction such as geographical areas, chartiable fields or kinds of institutions. Other factors include graduation from Graham High School as a resident of Tazewell County, and must be in the top 25% of the graduating class.”

Restrictions are quoted from the filing’s own words. A foundation’s mailing address doesn’t always decide who’s eligible — the restriction text above does.

How to apply

“The student must write a letter to the scholarship committee and include the following information: A. The course the student plans to pursue B. The college selected to attend C. Cost of tuition and other expenses D. Statement of family's income and obligations and the amount the student's family will be able to provide each year E. The amount of financial aid needed each year F. Other financial aid for which the student has applied for or received”

Deadline

“Third week of April prior to graduation from Graham High School.”

We don’t compute a date we can’t verify — the filing’s own words above are the best available record. Confirm with the foundation.

Where this information comes from

Every fact on this page is published from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF for the tax period ending 2024-06-30 (EIN 237179494). Part XV of that form is where a private foundation that accepts unsolicited applications must tell the IRS — and the public — who to send applications to, what to include, any deadlines, and any restrictions on awards. Most of these programs are never listed on scholarship search sites; the filing is often the only public record they exist.

Most listings on this site are compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Listings under /award/ are a second, separate source: read directly from the foundation’s own public scholarship portal, with a link to that source on every page. Filings are annual and portals change between cycles, so details can change: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
