ACCF Adult Scholarships are for non-traditional students–people who have been out of high school for at least a few years, not entering college right after graduation from high school, who may be unemployed, underemployed, retraining for a new career, or for career training and professional development for people to advance in their current work positions. Adult scholarships may also be used for coursework in entrepreneurship, leadership and scholarship not necessarily leading to a degree.

Application Deadline is March 15th
Please read the criteria for each scholarship carefully and only apply for those which you qualify. The correct essay question must be submitted for each scholarship for which you have applied. It is the responsibility of the applicant to make sure their application is complete and submitted by the deadline. Incomplete applications will not be considered. You must submit a separate application for each scholarship.

What is a Scholarship Fund?

It is a way to help others pursue their education – with a focus of the donor’s choice. Scholarships can support students who are graduating from a particular school, attending a particular school, or studying a specific subject.

Scholarship funds can be set up in a benefactor’s name or the name of a loved one, so a deserving individual can get an education they might not otherwise receive. The Community Foundation offers a simple solution to donors who want to start a scholarship program. For your convenience, we perform all the administrative duties and conform strictly to standards. Donors can contribute to existing funds or establish a new scholarship fund. Let us know how we can help you realize your charitable goals.

If you are interested in becoming a donor, would like to make a donation to an existing scholarship fund, or have any questions, call us at 724-548-5897, or contact us.
