The Fulton County Community Foundation’s summer scholarship applications are now
open. Applications are available at www.nicf.org/fulton-county/scholarships and must be
submitted by Tuesday, July 1, at 3 p.m. ET.
Several scholarships with varying criteria are available to Fulton County residents
pursuing higher education:
The Ginger Miller Higher Education Scholarship provides scholarships for
qualified college graduates pursuing graduate or professional school degrees.
The Phillips-Braman Scholarship provides scholarships for Rochester High
School graduates who have completed one year of coursework at Purdue
University. Applicants must demonstrate financial need and academic
achievement.
The Back Home Again in Indiana Scholarship supports non-traditional
students who wish to pursue higher education and/or training to enhance their
skills for employment. Non-traditional students include those who have graduated
from high school or obtained a GED and have delayed entrance into college,
rather than earning a degree immediately after high school.
The Frederick Rakestraw Law Scholarship provides scholarships for qualified
college graduates pursuing a degree in law. Applicants must have been residents
of Fulton County for at least three years during high school and must be
accepted into a graduate school program and enrolled in any school of law in the
United States.
