The Tucker Community Foundation is accepting applications from high school students for merit-based scholarships.
Students in seven counties in West Virginia: Barbour, Grant, Mineral, Preston, Pocahontas, Randolph, and Tucker County, and Garrett County, Md. can use the money regardless of their field of study.
The foundation will award more than $52,000 in 40 different scholarships.
"The one application allows us to figure out which ones are eligible for which scholarship, that way the student doesn't have to file 40 different scholarships with us they can file one, and we figure whether they're eligible or not," said Robert Burns, executive director.
Burns said a few applications have already been received.
