Scholarships

The Community Foundation of Monroe County is new in the scholarship business. As we have more scholarship funds, some of these funds will help students from a particular school or area; others provide financial assistance to those pursuing a specific field of study, and some assist students that are most in need. Students interested in one or more of our scholarships should first create an account through our Online Scholarship Portal to complete an eligibility questionnaire. After completing the eligibility questionnaire, the student will be directed to the scholarship application(s) for which they qualify.

To learn more about scholarship opportunities, you may want to reach out to your school’s guidance or financial aid department. If you still have questions, please contact us!  Scholarships that follow a traditional school calendar  are available for application January – March 1st.  

Questions about applying for a scholarship? Please contact Samantha Holbert at Director@cfmcpa.org or call 570-213-9083.
