Nearly $578K in scholarships given to hundreds of students by Community Foundation
The Community Foundation of Henderson County has awarded 264 scholarships totaling $577,900 to new and current scholarship recipients for the 2022-23 academic year.
For most students and their families, tuition cost is a critical consideration when deciding to attend college. As costs rise, the reality is that many families cannot afford higher education without financial assistance, according to a news release from the Community Foundation. Scholarships are a critical part of the equation to help students not only pay for college, but also succeed while they are there.
Thanks to the generosity of donors who have established Scholarship Funds at Community Foundation of Henderson County, hundreds of thousands of dollars in academic assistance are awarded to local students year after year.
Since 1984, Community Foundation of Henderson County’s Scholarship Program has awarded more than $7 million to nearly 2,000 students. Scholarships represented 11.4% of the Foundation’s total charitable awards this past year.
The Foundation’s volunteer Scholarship Committee invested a significant amount of time reviewing applications, interviewing students, and making award recommendations to our Board of Directors. The scholarship recipients this year will become teachers, nurses, engineers, and inspiring leaders -- many of whom expressed desires to return to the Henderson County community. A full list of the new 2022-2023 recipients can be found at the button below. The application portal for 2023-24 scholarships will open this Fall.
