The Vol State Upper Cumberland (Putnam, Overton, Pickett, Clay, Smith, Jackson) Dual Enrollment Grant is made possible thanks to the Copeland family and other generous donors and business leaders in the Upper Cumberland that led to the establishment of the Upper Cumberland Fund at Vol State. Vol State is working to continue to grow the Upper Cumberland Fund via fundraisers and private donations in an effort to continue the legacy of the original donors by expanding access to education and workforce development opportunities in the Upper Cumberland Region.
