Scholarship Funds provide a meaningful opportunity for individuals, organizations, or families to help students achieve their educational goals. Whether supporting a two-year college, four-year university, certificate program, or private high school, scholarships can be tailored to fit various needs and aspirations.
Why Choose a Scholarship Fund?
- Endowed or Non-Endowed: Create an endowed fund that preserves the principal indefinitely or choose a non-endowed fund that can be spent down over time.
- Memorialize: Create a lasting legacy by naming the fund in memory of a loved one or to honor your family.
- Connection: Stay informed about the students who benefit from your generosity, fostering a meaningful connection with those you help.
- Flexibility: Set the criteria that matter most to you—whether based on major, GPA, financial need, or other factors. You can also decide if the scholarship will be awarded once or to the same student throughout their educational journey, with The Community Foundation managing the details.
By establishing a Scholarship Fund, you play a pivotal role in shaping the future of students in McHenry County. Join us in empowering the next generation through education!
