Community Scholarship Program

Every scholarship offered through the Community Foundation Alliance tells a unique story, honors a loved one, or uplifts the community. These funds support students from all walks of life, and through our Universal Application, you can access a wide range of opportunities that reflect diverse academic goals, career interests, and personal experiences. Eligibility varies by scholarship and is determined by donor preferences, such as community, school, GPA, field of study, or financial need.
