Tippens Charitable Trust

Private-foundation scholarship · West Virginia · published from the foundation’s own IRS filing

Everything below comes from the foundation’s Form 990-PF (tax period ending 2024-12-31) — the public filing where a foundation that accepts applications must state who to contact, how to apply, its deadlines, and its restrictions. Free to read, always.

Who is eligible

“Candidate must be a resident of wood county, wv, eligible to graduate, show financial need, and be of good character & reputation, unselfish & ambitious and possess the ability and desire to further his or her education at a college, university, or trade school located in west virginia.”

Restrictions are quoted from the filing’s own words. A foundation’s mailing address doesn’t always decide who’s eligible — the restriction text above does.

How to apply

“The principal and guidance counselor of each high school in wood county, wv shall select a maximum of 2 students to receive the award, unless sufficient funds allow for additional recipients. A written application, which should be obtained by the wesbanco trust department, should be submitted to the trust department.”

Where this information comes from

Every fact on this page is published from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF for the tax period ending 2024-12-31 (EIN 556118733). Part XV of that form is where a private foundation that accepts unsolicited applications must tell the IRS — and the public — who to send applications to, what to include, any deadlines, and any restrictions on awards. Most of these programs are never listed on scholarship search sites; the filing is often the only public record they exist.

Every listing on this site is compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Filings are annual, so details can change between filings: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
