Scholarship Funds
Investing in Deserving Students
In creating a Scholarship Fund, you invest in your community’s future and show students you care. Your community foundation provides the expertise to help you meet your personal goals and award scholarships to deserving area students. Your gift can help students–from preschool to postgraduate–achieve their lifetime dreams.
You determine the criteria students must meet to receive a scholarship from your fund, whether they are based on a student’s field of study, academic achievements, extracurricular activities, financial need, background, or geography. We handle all the administrative details–and award the scholarships in the name of the fund that you established. You will receive updates on the impact your gift is making in our community.
The National Standards Seal by our name indicates official confirmation from the Council on Foundations that we have met the most rigorous standards in philanthropy. It affirms our commitment to financial security, transparency and accountability. It says our grantmaking includes an open, competitive process designed to address the changing needs of our community. The National Standards Seal also confirms our history of honoring donors’ wishes.
