First Horizon Bank has created a new scholarship endowment with the Roane State Foundation to support students pursuing degrees in nursing and other critical health science programs. The initial gift of $25,000, received in 2024, is already being utilised to assist traditional, dual enrolment, and non-traditional adult students in completing their health science degrees.

“First Horizon has a long history of investing in and strengthening our communities, which need strong health care systems and professionals,” said Jim Atchley, Knoxville market president of First Horizon Bank. “Funding education is a top priority, and we are proud to invest in the future of our community by supporting scholarships for nursing and health science students. First Horizon’s gift reflects this commitment, and empowers and equips the next generation of professionals to make a lasting impact.”
Data from Roane State Foundation reveals that students who receive at least $1,000 in scholarship support are more than twice as likely to graduate and graduate on time. This additional support enhances workforce opportunities and contributes to the economic growth of local communities.
The newly available scholarships make a quality education and rewarding careers in health sciences more accessible to East Tennesseans. “We are so grateful for our partnership with First Horizon Bank and appreciate their continued support of Roane State students,” said Scott Nierman, executive director of Roane State Foundation. “This support can be a catalyst for changing not only a student’s life but also the lives of their family members and future generations.”
First Horizon Bank, established in Memphis in 1864, operates over 400 locations throughout Tennessee and the Southeastern region.
