The Hendricks County Community Foundation administers 38 scholarship funds as well as the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program. Since 1996, the Community Foundation has awarded over 250 scholarships worth over $2.8 million. These scholarships are funded by donors who believe in the youth of Hendricks County and want to support their pursuit of higher education. A scholarship fund established within the Community Foundation is a wonderful way to leave a family legacy forever.
The scholarship application deadline for High School seniors graduating in May 2010 is past. We will announce recipients in May 2010.
