Golden Belt Community Foundation provides local high school and college students with a free scholarship application review process. The goal is simple, to connect students with donors providing financial assistance for education. Last year the Foundation awarded over $60,000 to students in Barton, Pawnee, Rush, and Stafford counties. 

The deadline for all available scholarships is March 15. Some funds are designated for students that are not receiving substantial financial aid, which cannot be determined until after colleges, high schools, or merit-based scholarships have been awarded. 

The Foundation also has scholarship funds available to students attending vocational schools or colleges with other types of educational delivery methods. Students throughout Barton, Pawnee, Rush, and Stafford counties are invited to apply online. 

Review and apply for scholarships at www.goldenbeltcf.org/scholarships. All scholarship deadlines are March 15. For questions, contact Teresa Powelson, program officer, at 620-792-3000 or email teresa@goldenbeltcf.org. 

At over $30 million in total assets and more than 180 funds under management, the Golden Belt Community Foundation has been connecting people who care to causes that matter since 1996 serving the counties of Barton, Pawnee, Rush, and Stafford.
