Helping Students Achieve Their Goals
Education is the key to a brighter future for our local students, and our community. The Clinton County Foundation makes it easier for both donors and scholarship recipients to contribute in their own way to a thriving Clinton County. Scholarships align with the Foundation’s mission to connect people who care with causes that matter. As part of our support for education, we administer scholarship funds established by individuals and organizations.

Application Procedure
We recommend that you gather the following information before starting the application process:
Your GPA/class ranking
An essay
At least one recommendation letter. This could be from a teacher, a coach, employer, a minister, a neighbor, or a co-worker.
A transcript from your most recently attended high school or college/university
There will be questions specific to scholarships, so you may have to gather or prepare additional information.
Application Deadline
The Scholarship Portal for county-wide applications generally opens December 1 with a deadline of March 15.
Some scholarships are by invitation only and will not appear in the portal list.
Student Resources
In addition to scholarships offered through the Clinton County Foundation, there are many other scholarships available to Clinton County high school students that are not part of the Foundation’s Scholarship Portal. Therefore, we recommend that high school students check their high school’s guidance office website to find and apply for those extra scholarships that are outside the Clinton County Scholarship Portal.
Scholarships
There is a wide variety of scholarships available through the Clinton County Foundation that are based on a field of study, merit, financial need, and community involvement. By completing our universal grant application, our system will automatically match you with the criteria for each scholarship. This eliminates the need to complete multiple scholarship applications.
