Establish a Scholarship

Creating a Scholarship/Scholarship Fund

Donors interested in promoting educational opportunities for students may establish a scholarship with the option of choosing either

This can be an opportunity to honor a community organization or remember a family member with a memorial scholarship.

The Foundation helps a donor by awarding scholarships and by administering all scholarship/scholarship funds.

The donor(s) decides on the guidelines and criteria. Scholarships may support any level of education and may be based on the school the student is attending, his/her chosen field of study, financial need, academic achievement, community service, etc.
