The Tucker Memorial Scholarship Fund

About the Scholarship:

The Tucker Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by the ECW of the Diocese of East Tennessee “in thanksgiving for Mollie Tucker’s life and witness and for her many years of service to the Episcopal Church Women in Tennessee.” The financial award is intended to help recipients reach educational goals at accredited colleges or technical schools. Since 1988, more than 25 women in the diocese have been awarded a Mollie Hazen Tucker Scholarship. It is a one-time grant, currently $2,000, for one year only.
