On behalf of the Tennessee Relocation Council (TRC), we would like to make you aware of, and ask your support in promoting, a scholarship opportunity for Tennessee current high school seniors. To be eligible for this scholarship, a student must be a senior currently attending an accredited high school in Tennessee.

The Tennessee Relocation Council is a non-profit organization that brings together business corporations and relocation service providers from all over the country for the primary purpose of providing educational information and current relocation industry updates to its members. As a part of our community outreach efforts, TRC sponsors a scholarship to assist a worthy high school senior in helping provide a scholarship to assist with college costs.

The TRC scholarship program focuses on current high school seniors who have relocated into the state of Tennessee sometime between grades 9 (after completion of the 8^th grade) and 12. We would like to encourage your students to apply. The one-time award of $1,000 will be presented to an area high school senior this year. The award will be sent directly to the college of choice that the student will be attending to assist with tuition, etc.

TRC will select the scholarship winner based on the strength of their total application package. The student will be evaluated on:

1. academic performance (as illustrated in their transcripts)
2. extra-curricular activities (to be listed with their application), and
3. their essay addressing the way they handled the challenges associated with relocating to a new area and a new high school.

We ask for your assistance with the following items:

1) Please make eligible students aware of this scholarship opportunity and encouraging their participation. Please post the scholarship application on your school website and in any newsletter to seniors as soon as you receive this information, as the deadline for submissions is Friday March 20, 2026 (no exceptions, please).

1. Please confirm the applicant’s eligibility based on the criteria that they have:
2. Relocated more than 50 miles and changed schools due to their family's relocation between the 9^th and 12^th grades, and
3. Have a current minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0 (or equivalent achievement on a different scale)

 3) Assist with submissions by signing the application and providing academic performance information including grades and major test scores (SAT) to accompany the student's application.
