The Goodlark Educational Foundation Scholarships

In addition to helping students search for other scholarships and aid to pay for college, the Goodlark Foundation funds a limited number of their own scholarships each year to students in Dickson, Hickman and Humphreys Counties in Tennessee.  Goodlark scholarships are awarded to students who have a strong desire to continue their education, who demonstrate the ability and maturity needed to successfully complete their chosen program, and who are in need of financial assistance.  All applicants must meet the basic admission requirements of the school to which they are applying and must have been a resident of Dickson, Humphreys or Hickman Counties in Tennessee for a minimum of one year prior to application.

For the 2007-2008 school year, the Foundation awarded 85 scholarships totaling $118,000  to area residents who are pursuing a four-year college degree, a two-year Associate Degree or who are participating in certificate programs at technical schools.  The recipients of our scholarships were both recent high school graduates and older students who are returning to school.  Scholarship amounts ranged from $500 to $2,000.  In addition, $2,500 was given to the five area high school valedictorians in the form of Dr. James T. and Mary Ann Jackson Valedictorian Awards.

A limited number of adult scholarships may still be awarded for the 2007-2008 school year.  Please request an application by using the link below or by contacting our office.  Your request should indicate the time period for which you are applying.

The deadline to apply for scholarships for the 2008-2009 school year will be  March 31, 2008.  Applications will be available January 2, 2008.  Graduating high school seniors should obtain an application from, and return the completed application to, their high school counselors.  Interviews for these candidates will be scheduled at area high schools.  Other applicants may request an application using the link below.  Those applications should be returned directly to the Goodlark Foundation offices.
