Eunice Lou Gower McHugh Scholarship Fund Grant

The Eunice Lou Gower McHugh Scholarship Fund, established through a generous land donation by Eunice Lou Gower McHugh, honors her parents' legacy of community service. Administered by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, this scholarship supports graduates from Robertson County high schools who are committed to careers in service-oriented fields like teaching, nursing, and law enforcement. With a mission to foster positive change, this fund ensures that future generations have the opportunity to pursue their educational goals.

Growing up on a farm in Robertson County, Tennessee, Eunice Lou Gower McHugh lived in a community of hard-working people. When it came time to sell the farm in Robertson County, it made perfect sense for Lou to donate the land to The Community Foundation so that the proceeds could establish two scholarships.
