Kentucky Community Team Scholarships are available again this year for the 2011 Brushy Fork Annual Institute. Community teams from economically distressed 2010 ARC counties will be eligible to receive scholarships. These scholarships are made possible through funding from the Appalachia Regional Commission.
Under this scholarship program, the first three team members pay only $250 each. Any additional team members pay $100 each. Lodging will be reimbursed at 50 percent of actual upon submission of receipts, up to a maximum of $500 per team.
Scholarship applications will be reviewed as they are received and applicants will be notified as soon as possible. Because a limited amount of scholarship funding is available, any applications received once the scholarship funds are all committed will be placed on a waiting list in the event of cancelations.

These counties are: Adair, Bath, Bell, Breathitt, Carter, Casey, Clay, Clinton, Cumberland, Elliott, Estill, Floyd, Harlan, Hart, Jackson, Johnson, Knott, Knox, Lawrence, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Lewis, Lincoln, McCreary, Magoffin, Martin, Menifee, Metcalfe, Monroe, Morgan, Owsley, Perry, Powell, Robertson, Rockcastle, Russell, Wayne, Whitley and Wolfe.
