Thomas B. Bright, Jr. Scholarship

The Thomas B. Bright, Jr. Scholarship, administered by the Blue Grass Community Foundation, is designed for the children of employees working for companies associated with the Kentucky Propane Gas Association. Eligible applicants may reside in any state and can plan to attend an accredited two-year or four-year college or university in the United States.

To apply, students must first complete the foundation's online eligibility form, which automatically matches them with qualifying opportunities. Once matched, applicants must submit a specific application for this program. The application process requires students to upload their academic transcripts, a resume detailing extracurricular activities and work experience, and financial information. Because the review process considers financial need, applicants must also submit their FAFSA Submission Summary, which provides their Student Aid Index. The completed application must be submitted through the online portal by March 6, 2026 by 11:59 pm (EST). Approved funding is sent directly to the recipient's chosen institution to cover educational expenses.
