MURFREESBORO — The
Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee is offering three scholarships
specifically for MTSU students and prospective students, all with deadlines of
March 15.
The Archie Hartwell Nash Memorial Scholarship Fund was
established in 1997 to honor the late owner of Overton Produce Company and
several related companies. Eligible applicants must be MTSU sophomores or
above, including graduate students, who are working a minimum of 20 hours per
week and maintaining a 2.0 or higher grade-point average.
Ken Shipp, an MTSU alumnus who coached football for several
teams at the collegiate and professional level, established a scholarship in
his name in 2009 for graduating seniors from Rutherford County public high
schools who plan to attend MTSU. Shipp died in 2012.
Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 2.75 and/or meet the
eligibility criteria for the Tennessee Lottery scholarship, if applicable. In
addition, they must have financial need and be persons of good moral character.
The Cameron Blake Parnell Scholarship Fund was established
in 2015 by family and friends to honor the professional pilot, who graduated
from MTSU in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace administration. Parnell
died in 2014 in a hiking accident in Crater Lake, Oregon.
Applicants must be rising juniors or seniors at MTSU who
major in aerospace and plan to become pilots. They also must maintain a 3.0 GPA
or above.
