Community Foundation announces 2018 scholarship opportunities

Dubois County Community Foundation is pleased to announce scholarship opportunities for 2018.

Through the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program, a full tuition, four-year scholarship will be awarded to one 2018 graduate of a Dubois County High school.

The scholarship provides full tuition, required fees and an annual stipend of up to $900 per year for required books and equipment for four years of full-time undergraduate study leading to a baccalaureate degree at any Indiana public or private college or university accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

The Dubois County Community Foundation will award over $90,000 in scholarship grants from various charitable scholarship endowments.  Student eligibility is determined by his or her respective high school (from which they are graduating or have graduated from) and the specific criteria of each scholarship).  Employer-based scholarship opportunities are also available for dependents of employees of Best Home Furnishings and Parke-Bell, Ltd.

New timeline for Dubois County Community Foundation Scholarship Program

Scholarship applications for both programs will now be available online beginning August 1, 2017.  The applications will close on October 1, 2017.

The fall application date represents an earlier timeline for the Community Foundation scholarship application and will now be in conjunction with the Lilly Scholarship program.

Additional information and applications for both programs are accessed through the Dubois County Community Foundation website at http://www.dccommunityfoundation.org.
