Rising Stars Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Jeffrey Coller, Knoxville Criminal Defense Attorney
Our scholarship program provides financial assistance to students who have been able to significantly improve their grade point averages since beginning their college education. Each semester, we award a $1,000 scholarship to a student who can demonstrate that their GPA has increased by at least one point from semester to semester or year to year. By supporting students who have overcome academic and personal struggles, we aim to help them ensure that they can achieve their educational goals.
Winners of the Rising Stars Scholarship can use the award to pay tuition or address other costs related to their college education, including housing, books, or supplies. The deadline to apply for the Spring 2025 scholarship is March 12, 2025. To apply for the scholarship, please see the instructions below and fill out the application form
