Scholarships

The Community Foundation is privileged to administer scholarship funds on behalf of the communities we serve.

The Community Foundation accepts Scholarship Funds that are able to accomplish three goals:

1. To qualify as a charitable activity so as not to jeopardize the tax-exempt status of the Community Foundation;
2. To provide donors to scholarship funds with an income tax deduction; and
3. To provided income to scholarship recipients that is non-taxable.

A scholarship application click to download is available for students nearing graduation in our area schools. To be eligible for a Michigan Gateway Community Foundation Scholarship, applicants must use the MGCF application form.
