Carl C. Yount Charitable Scholarship Trust
The Carl C. Yount Charitable Scholarship Trust has established a scholarship program to assist students who plan to continue their education in college in the performing arts or medical studies.
Carl C. Yount Charitable Scholarship Trust
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
