Helps Scholars
The Friends of Stones River National Battlefield, Inc., a
nonprofit advocacy and advisory group to the National Park
Services, is currently accepting applications for its annual
scholarship for local students attending MTSU.
The Henry Patthey memorial Scholarship, named in honor of the
late local historian, was created in 2006 to provide financial
support for Rutherford County students while encouraging
increased awareness and interest in the events surrounding the
Battle of Stones River during the Civil War.
The scholarship is made available to resident Rutherford Country
high school seniors enrolling at MTSU to study history. This
year’s topic is “In what way(s) was the Battle of Stones River
significant?”
The deadline for all scholarship materials is April 17, 2009.
Applications are available from the group’s web site,
www.friendsofstonesriver.org or from high school guidance
counselors.
