We know that applying for scholarships is hard, and we know that you have limited time as you balance all your commitments and studies with anything else happening in your lives. Our foundation staff is here to assist you with questions every step of the way.
For students that were awarded a scholarship in 2023, please see the following schedule based on when you complete your Scholarship Acceptance Form and when payments will be sent to you attending institution. Community Foundation Staff will follow up with you by email to notify you when payments are sent to your institution.
*For scholarship renewal students, please be on the lookout for communications from Community Foundation Staff. We will update these dates to include your disbursements by Fall of 2023.
