Eligible applicants are pregnant or parenting teens, living in the State of Tennessee, who are enrolled in or planning to enroll in post-secondary education at an accredited college, university, junior college, technical school, or job-training program as a way to increase their job skills and become more employable. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ As a mother, grandmother and community volunteer in Nashville, Heloise Werthan Kuhn is an ardent supporter of the Crittenton mission of preventing both first and repeat teen pregnancies.

She established this scholarship to help teen parents develop self-esteem through education or technical training in order to qualify for better jobs.

Apply NowEunice Lou Gower McHugh Scholarship Fund Established 2008
Those eligible for this scholarship are students graduating from Robertson County, Tennessee, high schools that are working or know they will need to work to pay for college. Students must be preparing for a career serving others, including but not limited to teaching, nursing, law enforcement, ministry, etc., and if already enrolled in college, must be maintaining a C average or better. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Growing up on a farm in Robertson County, Tennessee, Eunice Lou Gower McHugh lived in a community of hard-working people. On the family farm lived her mother and father, Elsie Dame Murphey and Joseph Franklin Gower. The Gowers weren't wealthy, but they constantly served the community by offering to help those in need. "They were always doing for other people," Lou said, from serving the community church to sacrificing to send her to music lessons. When it came time to sell the farm in Robertson County, it made perfect sense for Lou to donate the land to The Community Foundation so that the proceeds could establish two scholarships. This one is in her parents' memory, and benefits students graduating from high schools in Robertson County, Tennessee.
