Local Scholarships, Lifelong Impact
Most of our scholarships are created by local individuals and organizations with a deep connection to our region.
Because of this, the majority of awards are intended for students who live within our eight-county region (Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, and Yates counties) or are pursuing educational opportunities in the region.
Opportunities Available for Every Path
No matter where you are on your educational journey, there is an opportunity for you. We offer financial support for:
- High School Students: Opportunities for current private and parochial high school students, as well as graduating high school seniors preparing for their next step.
- Higher Education & Training: Support for undergraduate, graduate, and vocational or technical school students.
- Adult Learners: Dedicated funding for adult students returning to school or changing careers.
