The Community Foundation of Boone County is excited to announce that applications for 2025 scholarship opportunities are now available! The deadline to submit scholarship applications is noon on January 14, 2025.
Students can apply for scholarship funding to pursue education beyond high school, be it vocational training, undergraduate studies, or graduate studies. Some scholarships consider financial need as a component, while others are merit-based only. These scholarships are made possible by Boone County individuals, families, civic groups, and businesses who recognize the tremendous need for assistance in meeting the rising costs of higher education and have established scholarship funds with the Foundation to help alleviate the costs for students pursuing degrees.
The Community Foundation of Boone County administers more than 60 scholarships for Boone County students. In 2024, nearly $370,000 in scholarships were awarded. We are thankful to play a part in supporting the future of Boone County.
For questions regarding our scholarships, please contact Ali Maxey, Director of Education & Grantmaking, at 765-482-0024 or by email at Ali@communityfoundationbc.org.
