The Community Foundation manages various scholarship funds for the benefit of eligible applicants. Scholarship funds allow our donors to help provide educational opportunities for future generations. Many of our scholarship funds have been set up in honor or memory of a loved one or someone who has helped the donor become successful in life.
Each scholarship has its own specific purpose and eligibility criteria according to the recommendations of the donor. Scholarships are managed with varying degrees of involvement by the Foundation's Scholarship Selection Committee and staff. Applications for certain scholarships are available for download online. Each scholarship has different requirements. Please refer to each scholarship page for additional information. Several scholarships have very specific criteria and individuals who are eligible will be notified by mail.
The vast majority of new applications are due on March 15 of each year. Renewal applications are due to the Community Foundation office by February 1 of each year. Please see each scholarship criteria page for deadlines. Incomplete and/or late applications will not be considered.
Please visit the Scholarships page to download the application and to review the criteria for each scholarship. If you have any questions, contact Veronica L. Pinkett-Barber, Program Officer, at 803.254.5601 x331 or veronica@yourfoundation.org.
