    CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University (APSU) and the Fort Campbell Spouses’ Club (FCSC) have announced a growing partnership rooted in shared values and a mutual commitment to supporting military families.

    This year, APSU’s Military and Veterans Affairs (MVA) Division sponsored the first-ever Fort Campbell Spouses’ Club Scholarship with a $1,500 contribution, matching the FCSC’s own $1,500 allocation. APSU alumnus and Army veteran Larry Carroll generously donated an additional $3,500, bringing the total scholarship amount to $6,500.

    The timing of this funding was critical for Brandy Lampley, a senior nursing student, mother of three, and military spouse who was facing serious financial challenges. Lampley, who is set to graduate in August, has been pursuing her degree since 2016 — balancing school, deployments, parenting, and PCS moves. Her financial aid had been exhausted, and she was unable to use her husband’s military education benefits, as he is currently attending Drill Sergeant School and has not yet earned transferability.

    With mounting responsibilities, Lampley was quickly running out of options.

    Dr. Eve Rice, the director of APSU’s School of Nursing, shared Lampley’s story with the MVA division, and they turned to a natural ally: the Fort Campbell Spouses Club.

    FCSC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-run organization dedicated to supporting military families in the Fort Campbell area. Open to all local spouses of active duty, National Guard, Reserve, retired, and Gold Star families, their mission of education and charitable support aligns with APSU’s institutional values.

    Lampley’s story represents exactly why this partnership matters. Through the combined generosity of the FCSC, MVA, and Carroll, she was able to secure the funds she needed to complete her final semester—proving that when communities collaborate, lives are changed.
