Townsend, Tennessee

The Hearts and Hands Scholarship fund was established in 1994 to award scholarships to Townsend, Tennessee residents attending regionally accredited colleges or vocational schools. In 2008,  18 students were each awarded scholarships ranging from $500.00 to $800.00, plus Jake Payne received the first Dorothy Storey Scholarship in the amount of $1000.00.   Since inception over $107,000 has been given to local students. An endowment fund has been established to ensure longevity of this project. With the generous support from individuals and businesses in Townsend and neighboring communities, we continue assisting students in pursuing higher education and to promote the spirit of a worthwhile cause.
