East Tennessee Foundation (ETF) has announced the availability of scholarships for Sevier County students for the 2012-2013 school year.
Of the 36 active scholarships established through ETF, five are currently available for Sevier County residents. The 2012 East Tennessee Foundation Scholarship Guide and Application are now available at www.easttennesseefoundation.org.   
Sevier County students are eligible for the B&W Y-12 Scholarship, the Ruby A. Brown Memorial Scholarship, the Harold W. Canfield Memorial Scholarship, the James K. Goldston INFOSEC Scholarship, and the Lawrence Strader Boy Scouts of America Scholarship.  
ETF scholarship program requirements range from financial need to scholastic achievement. Several scholarships are targeted toward specific schools or counties, students involved in certain extracurricular activities, or those who may not display the highest scholastic rankings yet still possess great potential and motivation. Others are geared toward students pursuing a specific field, such as business or nursing.
In fall 2011, over $180,000 was disbursed in scholarship awards for 118 students participating in ETF scholarship programs. Scholarships provided through ETF help fulfill the dreams of those students wishing to obtain a secondary education, whether they are graduating high school seniors or returning adult students.
Scholarships administered by ETF allow individuals and groups to honor loved ones while helping change the lives of those pursuing higher education. Many of the scholarships have been established to honor the memory of a lost parent, spouse or child. Some have been founded to honor coaches or prominent community leaders.
