Do you know a student or nonprofit that could use a scholarship or grant?
Main Street Community Foundation is currently accepting scholarship applications from local students as well as grant applications from area nonprofit organizations through its competitive general grant cycle. All guidelines, eligibility criteria and links to the applications are available on the foundation’s website, www.mainstreetfoundation.org.
Scholarships are being offered to local residents who wish to pursue their educational dreams. These scholarships target many diverse areas of study and are available to graduating high school seniors, currently enrolled college students and adult learners.
