HCCBH Announces Nine 2024/2025 Scholarship Recipients
The Hardeman County Commission for Black History (HCCBH) announced nine recipients of its 2024/2025 academic scholarships. Area students from the Class of 2025 were awarded scholarships, which range from $1,000 awarded to students attending an historically black college or university (HBCU) to $500 awarded to students attending any other college, university, or vocational school.
The BCHS scholarship recipients are Kabrilya Higgs, Miley Jones, Hope Marcell, Christian McCarley, Victor Robinson, and Tamaya Turner.
The MHS scholarship recipients are Cliftavian Davis and Kijah Mitchell.
The home school scholarship recipient is Jade James.
The HCCBH was formed in 1980 and awarded its first scholarship in 1982. To be eligible, students must complete an application, submit three letters of reference, a transcript, and complete an essay on how receiving the scholarship will assist them in continuing their education. Scholarship money is awarded once students have completed the first semester of school, submit their transcript, and show enrollment for the second semester.
Students interested in applying for the HCCBH Scholarship may pick up an application from their high school counselor after school has started in August. Applications are typically due mid April of each school year.
