Benefits to College Seniors For Their Final Semester

Richard and Mildred Harrison Memorial Scholarship

Mary Alice Nichols Memorial Scholarship

The Harrison Scholarship was established by the donors to help reduce the loan burden incurred during four years of college.

The Nichols Scholarship was established by her family to assist a student about to graduate as a Registered Nurse with a bachelors degree.

These scholarships are applied toward the balance of your student account for the last semester of your college career. It may only be applied to outstanding tuition, fees, or book costs.

Applicants must be enrolled for their final (bachelors degree) college semester(s). Applications are due by November 1 of the year preceding graduation, regardless of what month the student will graduate. (December grads must have applied 13 months before graduation.)

To qualify for the Harrison scholarship, you must be a college senior who graduated from Tipton High School, and you must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 (4-pt. scale) as you earn your bachelors degree. For the Nichols scholarship, you must have graduated from either Tipton or Tri-Central High School, and be an RN as you earn your bachelors degree.

There is no application "form" for these two Scholarships. Please provide the following information in your own word processed document. Students will be considered for both scholarships, if they meet the eligibility requirements.

Return your printed document to the Tipton County Foundation, PO Box 412, 1020 W. Jefferson St., Tipton, IN 46072 by the deadline, November 1 of the calendar year before the year you will graduate. Faxed or Emailed applications will not be accepted.
