The Vanderburgh Community Foundation and the Warrick County Community Foundation are excited to announce the opening of the annual Community Scholarship Program for 2024. 

“Generous donors have honored their loved ones, high schools, or professions by endowing scholarship opportunities through the Community Foundations,” says Sidney Hardgrave, Regional Director of Community Engagement and Impact. “We administer many scholarship funds established by individuals, families, and organizations to assist local students in pursuit of advanced education. Together, these scholarships make up our Community Scholarship Programs.” 

Eligibility requirements and selection criteria for each scholarship are determined by the scholarship founder. Each scholarship is unique and supports students with a variety of backgrounds and educational goals. Students may apply for one or more scholarships, provided they meet the specific eligibility requirements. Details about each scholarship and the application requirements are posted online.

The Vanderburgh Community Foundation offers 26 endowed scholarships providing over $70,000 in support each year. Community scholarship applications are due by 11:45 pm on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
