Every community’s prosperity and future depend on its access to quality education. The Saginaw Community Foundation manages a number of scholarship programmes for high school, community college, university, and vocational students as a result. The Saginaw Community Foundation has given out more than $8 million in scholarships since we gave out our first $500 scholarship in 1987. Use our scholarship directory to find out more about all 235 of our available scholarships.
Here are some general eligibility factors that you may commonly find for scholarships aimed at promoting and supporting quality education:
Academic Achievement: Scholarships often have academic requirements, such as a minimum GPA or class rank. The specific academic criteria can vary depending on the scholarship and may require a certain level of academic excellence or potential.
Field of Study: Some scholarships may be open to students pursuing any field of study, while others may be restricted to specific majors or programs related to education, teaching, or disciplines that contribute to improving educational quality, such as educational psychology or curriculum development.
Educational Level: Scholarships can be available for undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral students. Some scholarships may also include high school seniors who plan to pursue a degree in education or a related field.
Commitment to Education: Scholarships may prioritize applicants who demonstrate a strong commitment to education, such as through previous involvement in education-related activities, volunteer work, leadership positions in student organizations, or teaching experiences.
Financial Need: Certain scholarships may prioritize applicants with demonstrated financial need. This may be assessed through information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or other financial aid forms.
Essay or Interview: Scholarships may require applicants to write an essay or participate in an interview to assess their understanding of quality education, their motivation to contribute to improving education, and their future plans to make a positive impact in the field of education.
Community Involvement: Some scholarships may consider an applicant’s involvement in community service or extracurricular activities that promote or support quality education.
