Scholarships
Since 1991, the LaGrange County Community Foundation, through the generosity of its many donors and the leadership of its Board of Directors and staff, has worked to develop a scholarship program that offers significant financial support for a wide range of educational and career development interests.
Community Scholarship Program
The Community Scholarship Program includes more than 48 scholarship funds supporting students pursuing higher education. Each scholarship has its own unique criteria and requirements, however, students must complete a common application to apply.
Scholarship awards can only be used for tax-exempt college expenses, such as tuition, books and required fees. Scholarships cannot be used for housing, board or transportation. Award payments are made directly to the school after the recipient completes and submits a scholarship voucher.
21st Century Scholars are not eligible to apply for LCCF Community Scholarships.
