JAMESTOWN – A community organization has donated nearly $5,000 to help Fentress County high school students working toward a college degree.

The donation from the Roane State/Fentress County High Schools Dual Credit Scholarship Fund will help cover the cost for students at Clarkrange High School and York Institute to take a fourth dual credit class.

Now, state lottery funds cover part of the costs of three such classes. Dual credit courses allow high school students to earn college credit and high school credit at the same time.

The organization’s donation of $4,931.70 will go to the Roane State Foundation and be earmarked specifically for Fentress County high school students.

Foundation Executive Director Dan Clifton told members of the organization that “having the fourth class available was the key element to advancing education,” according to meeting minutes.

The Fentress County organization now gets about $17,500 each year in donations. Those annual donations could pay for 35 Fentress County students to take a fourth dual credit class.​
