Scholarship Funds

Many scholarship funds have been established at the Ashland County Community Foundation. After a scholarship has been established, the fund continues to grow through additional contributions from the original donors, through other contributions, and through market growth.

Companies, organizations, families, and individuals can all establish scholarship funds. They often memorialize a loved one or honor a special person. The donor can define the scholarship's selection committee and guidelines for candidate selection, requirements, and award use.

Distribution Guidelines

• Requirements Needed to Receive the Scholarship
