      The Fort Gay High School Alumni Association was formed 25 years ago with the intention of giving something back to the community in the form of scholarships for students at Tolsia High School, which can be used to attend Marshall University.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Tolsia High School was created upon the closure of both Fort Gay and Crum high schools \u2014 so the scholarships are open to students from Fort Gay, Crum and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      The association\u2019s fundraisers and contributions from donors have enabled the awarding of a scholarship each year to a Tolsia student from 1997-2021. Winners of the $3,000 scholarship are chosen by Marshall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Beginning in 2022, two Fort Gay High School Alumni Association scholarships will be given to Tolsia students each year, in addition to scholarship renewals for previous winners who have maintained academic standards as set by Marshall University.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
