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,
