Scholarships


Ashley Larason and Tommy Weakley are Monroe County's
2008 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship recipients.

Scholarships are a wonderful way to help members of our community pursue continuing education, develop their unique potential, and enhance their ability to contribute to community and society as citizens.

The Community Foundation administers 10 different scholarship funds to support the educational aspirations of community members.  (Please see the fund list for a list of scholarship endowments.)  In many cases, the Community Foundation manages the endowments but does not carry out the selection process.  Rather, we partner with sponsoring groups to publicize and award scholarships.

An exception is the prestigious Lilly Endowment Community Scholars program, which provides full tuition and a book stipend for up to four years of baccalaureate study at any college or university in Indiana.
