Tommy C. Capper Scholarship

The Tommy C. Capper Scholarship is uniquely designed for all ages of current and former students of Central DeWitt High School – whether you took a break to raise your family, are studying for a career change, just graduated high school, or never thought college was an option because of limited resources.

Who Capper Foundation Scholarships are for:

• Applicants must have attended Central DeWitt High School (formerly Central Clinton Community High School); regardless of graduation year.
• Applicants must plan to study a specific area of interest, preferably in a short-term vocational or technical school program, but could also be a traditional college program.
• Applicants must demonstrate financial need, including a signed tax return and a recent pay stub.
• Applicants must complete the scholarship application form and supply the required attachments: high school transcript, letter of reference, and a personal essay.
• The Tommy C. Capper Foundation awards scholarships to fund the education of people who desire vocational, technical training or traditional college but would find it impossible to afford schooling without assistance. Our guiding principle is to distribute these scholarships to recipients who have consistently demonstrated hard work and motivation to achieve excellence in their lives. Scholarship funds are paid directly to the chosen institution for related expenses (tuition, fees, books, other supplies).

Who this scholarship is NOT for:

• If this scholarship wouldn’t make a big difference for you, and you already know how you’ll pay for additional education – then this isn’t a good fit for you.
• If you’ve never attended Central DeWitt High School (formerly Central Clinton Community High School), this isn’t for you.
