Realizing the importance of education, the Leadership Cocke County Class of 2008 has made a commitment to establish a scholarship entitled the "Leadership Scholarship". The scholarship is unique in that it is for non-traditional students, those that are in the work force and wish to further their education but due to various circumstances, were unable to attend a college, university or technical school after completing high school.
The scholarship will be funded through a variety of fund raising events with the first being the chili cook-off.
The Cocke County Education Foundation will govern the scholarship.
Donations to the scholarship fund may be made to the
Cocke County Education Foundation
C/O Cocke County Schools Central Office
305 Hedrick Dr., Newport, TN 37821.
Please note on your method of payment the funds are for the Leadership Scholarship.
