The Community Foundation’s Scholarship Program opens doors of opportunity for individuals of all ages. The Community Foundation links donors with financial resources to individuals with potential for future achievement.

A scholarship is more than a financial award- it is the key that unlocks the future for our youth by building their confidence. They are often created in honor or in memory of a loved one and exemplify the goals and values of that person.  Many recipients write that they deeply appreciate the faith this shows in their abilities.
