Briefs: Foundation now accepting scholarship applications
Community Foundation scholarship application deadline is March 1
The Community Foundation for Crawford County is announcing that scholarship applications for the 2023-2024 school year are now open and available at cfcrawford.org/scholarships. The application deadline is March 1.
Students are encouraged to start the application process now so there is time to ask questions and to have transcripts and verifier responses returned. If they’ve not done so already, students are also encouraged to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) ASAP, as many scholarship applications require the submission of the student aid report from the FAFSA.
The Foundation currently holds 39 different scholarship funds which will generate over 100 individual scholarship awards for the coming year ranging from $500 to $3,500 each. In addition, approximately half of those scholarships permit non-traditional students to apply, meaning students who have been out of high school for one year or more, students entering their second, third or fourth year of college, or students in graduate school. Students planning to attend an accredited trade school are also eligible to apply for many of the available scholarships.
The Foundation also accepts applications for the Bucyrus Rotary Club Memorial and Bucyrus Rotary Club STRIVE Scholarships, which are administered by the Rotary Club of Bucyrus.
