High school students in seven counties in West Virginia and Garrett County, Maryland can use the money regardless of their field of study.

The foundation will award $56,000 in 40 different scholarships.

The money comes from endowments and matching programs.

Awards will range from $500 to $4,000. They're part of the foundation's spring scholarship cycle.

The deadline for applications is April 6.

The Tucker Community Foundation will announce the winners in May.
