The Community Foundation of St. Joseph County has more than 40 scholarship funds which award over $350,000 to local students each year. The scholarships were established for a variety of reasons—to assist low-income students, encourage children of employees to pursue their dreams, or train medical professionals, teachers, and engineers. On a more somber note, many were established in memory of lost loved ones, turning grief into tribute and helping students achieve their goals in the process. The Community Foundation has distributed more than $6 million in scholarships since its inception.

Many of our scholarship funds are very specific with regard to the school the student will be attending or the field of study pursued. Students looking for broader scholarship opportunities, are encouraged to contact The Scholarship Foundation of
