ELIZABETHTOWN, KY (January 1, 2024) – With the addition of several new scholarships for the 2024 season, Scholarship Central continues to solidify its place as the area’s one-stop shop to apply for local scholarships.
There is up to $350,000 available to local students on Scholarship Central, Central Kentucky Community Foundation’s easy-to-use online scholarship platform. CKCF has added five new scholarships this year totaling over 150 opportunities. All scholarships are provided by generous local donors and partner organizations who want to help area students succeed. Students have from now until midnight EST, Friday, March 1 to apply.
“We are grateful to the generous donors in our community who make educational opportunities available for more students through scholarships,” said Davette B. Swiney, CKCF President and CEO. “CKCF has been awarding scholarships for over 50 years. We have seen it time and time again, investing in our students is investing in our future. We are honored to work with donors to make these opportunities available to students.”
Scholarships are open to high school graduating seniors current and returning college students, including several for students who plan to attend ECTC. The scholarships vary in amounts and are offered to new and returning ECTC students.
Scholarship Central is user-friendly and allows students in CKCF’s nine-county region, that includes Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, Hart, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson, and Washington Counties, to complete one application to be eligible for multiple scholarships. Students input basic information once and then customize details needed for specific scholarships.
