Daughters of the Confederacy offer scholarship
The chapter, officially called Capt. Sally Tompkins Chapter 2123, is offering the scholarship to a full-time, undergraduate student who is a Tennessee high school graduate with at least a 3.0 GPA. The student must be a U.S. citizen by birth.
The student must also prove documented lineal descent from a person who served honorably for the Confederacy or from a person who received an honorable discharge.
The value of this scholarship will be determined by the availability of chapter funds. It is named for real daughter Aurelia Hurlbert Hannon, who is currently living in Cookeville. Her father, Francis Telesford Hurlbert, was a Confederate soldier.
