Scholarships - INVESTING IN DESERVING STUDENTS

<< Return to Charitable Funds

In creating a Scholarship, you invest in your community’s future and show students you care.  Your community foundation provides the expertise to help you meet your personal goals and awards Scholarships to deserving students.  Your gift can help students — from preschool to postgraduate — achieve their academic and career-oriented goals.

You can create a Scholarship as a memorial to someone special, selecting eligibility criteria that exemplify that person’s goals and values.  Or, you may use it to express your educational values — or those of your family or business.  Depending on your preferences, the Scholarship you establish can support any area of academic need, including tuition, room and board, and books.  Our program staff tracks performance to ensure students continue to meet the terms for Scholarship support.

If the Scholarship you establish is renewable, you can review updated information on the progress of recipients over the years.  You may even elect to meet these students at the annual awards reception — something many donors find rewarding.

There is so much more we’d like you to know.  For more information and ideas on ways to integrate your financial planning with charitable giving, ask your financial advisor or contact Cumberland Community Foundation mary@cumberlandcf.org or 910-483-4449.
