Scholarships are available for students graduating high school, those in college or trade school, and medical school students, even 3 and 4-year-olds have the opportunity to qualify for a year of preschool tuition.

Some applications require letters of reference, SAT or ACT test scores, and transcripts. Gathering the needed attachments, especially the reference letters may take time. Students won’t want their letter to be the last thing to do on a busy Friday. Lauren Renda, Program Officer at the Community Foundation, suggests talking with teachers about reference letters three weeks before it is due.
