Keyshawn Tatum Memorial Scholarship Fund

Keyshawn Tatum was a beloved student at Meigs County High School in Decatur, Tennessee. He graduated in 2020.

Keyshawn died tragically and unexpectedly on November 21, 2022 from natural causes. Keyshawn died at home due to an asthma attack. Medical help did not reach him in time. There is a shortage of emergency workers in Meigs county and we want to support individuals who want to work in the medical field to help save lives.

In honor of his memory, a memorial scholarship has been established. A deserving senior at Meigs County High School will receive the scholarship. In addition to the High School Scholarship, there will be one for a Meigs County resident of any age who is training to be an EMT or Paramedic.

Applications for the scholarships will be chosen from students who share his interest: senior students who have taken the yearbook class, have been involved with 4-H, or chorus. The recipient of the scholarship may attend any accredited institution of higher learning and pursue any chosen field of study.

This is a non-profit organization - EIN number: 92-1225037

Donations will be accepted by mail, email, text, or cash app, a receipt will be provided.
