Applying for Scholarships
Here at the Community Foundation, we’re passionate about education. That’s why we offer over 130 scholarship opportunities to Grant County students. Thanks to generous donors, we have scholarships available to students of every age, income level, academic ability, and athletic aim. All U.S. citizens pursuing higher education at an accredited university, college, or trade school, part-time or full-time, are eligible to apply for scholarships.
Remember, funding is limited…Community Foundation scholarships are highly competitive. Awards are subject to IRS regulations, Community Foundation policy, and the criteria established by donors. Also, Community Foundation scholarships are to be used only for qualified educational expenses (as defined by the IRS- meaning tuition, fees, and books). Funds cannot be applied toward any other expenses (including room and board) that students may incur during their college career.
Application Closes January 31, 2021.

Community Calendar
The Community Foundation is thrilled to be a part of the launch of a collaborative effort that created the Do Grant County community calendar! This community calendar was established by multiple organizations as an inclusive system to find and submit local events all in one place. Check it out…you’ll be amazed at what all there is to DO in Grant County!
Do Grant County is a website for the public to use in promoting community events and activities. Instead of posting your event to multiple platforms and in various formats, use this resource and search for events of broad interests all in one location.
The calendar is an avenue for the public to use in promoting their own community events (meetings, fundraisers, performances, activities…). Feel free to browse and submit your own event(s) on the website at www.DoGrantCounty.com.
