Your best advice any time about scholarships and other financial aid for higher education is available at your high school Guidance Office and from the institutions to which you apply.

TCF’s promotion of higher education is funded in part by the Independent Colleges of Indiana through the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program.  We would like to thank ICI and the Endowment along with our other donors, volunteers, high school Guidance Offices, and the local Dollars for Scholars chapters who all provide opportunities for Tipton County students to continue their education on a collegiate level.

2. 21st Century Scholars Program

http://www.in.gov/ssaci/programs/21st/

The Twenty-first Century Scholars Program began in 1990 as Indiana's way of raising the educational aspirations of low- and moderate-income families. The program aims to ensure that all Indiana families can afford a college education for their children.

Income-eligible 7th- and 8th-graders who enroll in the program and fulfill a pledge of good citizenship are guaranteed the cost of four years of college tuition at any participating public college or university in Indiana.

Income eligibility is the same as for free or reduced priced lunches under the national school lunch program. Home-schooled children are apparently not eligible.

Lilly Endowment Community Scholars Program
George R. Myerly & Sons Scholarships

Click the button for information on the nomination process in Tipton County for these valuable and selective scholarship programs.

George Myerly and his wife Susannah, originally from Maryland, established a farm in eastern Tipton County, and took part in the official organization of the County.  Their son Silas, his son George R., and his son Lee all continued farming, as did Lee’s son Howard.

In honor of five generations of the Myerly family in Tipton County, the late Howard N. Myerly donated their pioneer farm to the Foundation to establish this scholarship.  The finalists who do not receive the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship each receive a one-time grant.

The E.W. Kelley Scholarship
at Indiana University Kokomo

The Kelley Scholarship, established in 1995, recognizes an outstanding Tipton County high school senior graduating from Tipton or Tri-Central High School who plans to enroll at Indiana University Kokomo. This prestigious award is a four-year, full tuition scholarship. Applicants should have a combined SAT (not including the essay portion) approximating 1100 (ACT 24), a class rank in the upper 20 percent and commit to completing a baccalaureate degree at the IU Kokomo campus. The Kelley Scholarship recognizes academic achievement; financial need is not a requirement. Award recipients will be required to enroll full time and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 for annual automatic renewal.

Applications Due March 1 for Spring 2009 Awards, to be used beginning in Fall 2009 for four years.
