The Community Foundation of St. Joseph County has more than 50
scholarship funds which award over $450,000 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.
