Friday, March 1 at 11:59 p.m. is the deadline to apply for the Central Kentucky Community Foundation’s Scholarship Central.
“It’s available to area high school students, to some current college students, and to even non-traditional students, and it is an application, just one application, that you fill out,” Hahn said. “Based on your answers, you will see a list of eligible scholarships.”
That’s Central Kentucky Community Foundation Communications and Scholarships Coordinator Erin Hahn.
“You may have to write an additional essay or get a letter of recommendation, but the whole process is very turnkey,” Hahn said. “This year, we have the opportunity of 150 scholarships that we will be awarding and it totals about $350,000.”
The range of scholarships available has increased this year, something made possible by strong community support.
“The amount of money that we are able to give out is given by generous donors in our community,” Hahn said. “Those donors that have had a fervor for education and wanting to pay it forward, and we’re able to do that to invest in the next chapter of their academic lives.”
The application for Scholarship Central is available at www.ckcf4people.org. For assistance, contact the Central Kentucky Community Foundation at 270-737-8393.
