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:
- To qualify as a charitable activity so as not to jeopardize the tax-exempt status of the Community Foundation;
- To provide donors to scholarship funds with an income tax deduction; and
- To provided income to scholarship recipients that is non-taxable.
An application is available for students nearing graduation in our area schools. To be eligible for a Michigan Gateway Community Foundation Scholarship, applicants must use the Online application form.
