Each year, Grand Rapids Community Foundation awards more than $550,000 in scholarships to students who are college bound or pursuing a technical career. 2010 marks the 65th year the Community Foundation has offered this assistance students.
Students can now apply for scholarships online at www.grfoundation.org. Applications will be accepted until April 1 and decisions will be announced in June.
The Community Foundation administers 68 scholarship funds that were generously established by individuals, families, companies, groups and associations. Some have very specific criteria for awards; others have more broad requirements. The majority of scholarships are available to students who:
- are residents of Kent County
- have a 2.5 grade point average
- demonstrate financial need
Students who have questions about scholarships or the application process may contact the Community Foundation at (616) 454-1751.
The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
We need your help.
If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
Please support The Rapidian and make a contribution today.
