2024 Scholarship Application Process is Now Closed

If you submitted an application for a 2024 scholarship opportunity and have any questions, please review the Important Dates section below or visit our FAQ page.

Community Foundation scholarships are offered annually for high school seniors and college students, as well as adults. Scholarships are for students who will be attending a college, university, trade school, or community college this fall. Most scholarships are for one year, but some are 2-year, some 4-year, and some are renewable. Each scholarship may have its own eligibility requirements, but there is only one common application to complete.

Complete details about the 2025 Scholarship Process will be posted in January 2025.
