Apply NowCatie Summers Scholarship Fund Established 2008
Eligible applicants are graduating seniors from Middle Tennessee counties who have battled cancer during their lifetime. Recipients must have a 3.0 grade point average OR a mininum ACT score of 21. Verification of cancer diagnosis and/or treatment will be required. Preference will be given to graduates of Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Schools. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Catie Summers was a daughter, a sister, a friend and a cancer warrior. She was born at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, on July 3, 1991, and grew up in Clarksville, Tennessee. Catie loved school, played softball and was a black belt in karate. In April of 2004, at the age of 12, she was diagnosed with a rare type of osteosarcoma, a bone cancer. While undergoing cancer chemotherapy and multiple surgeries, she maintained straight A's in middle school and high school and was twice named to the Mid-State Band as a baritone player. The Clarksville High School HOPE Club raised money in her name through sales of 'Viva Catie' bracelets and donated the proceeds to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Because of their efforts she was able to ride alongside fellow cancer survivor Lance Armstrong at the 2005 Ride for the Roses. A few months later, the cancer metastasized to her spine, eventually paralyzing her. Catie fought valiantly to the end, dying at home on December 16, 2007. She touched the lives of many people with her humor and courage. To honor her love of learning, her family established this scholarship for a graduating senior in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System or a Middle Tennessee high school who has also battled cancer. Viva Catie!
