Community Foundation accepting scholarship applications. 

LUDINGTON — The Community Foundation for Mason County’s scholarship program is now accepting applications for students planning to attend college in the 2020-2021 academic year. 

The Foundation for Mason annually awards over $90,000 in new and renewed scholarships to both graduating high school seniors and current college students.

Online application deadline is Feb. 1, 2020. 

Applications are submitted electronically through the Community Foundation website, www.mason-foundation.org/scholarships. The application process has been streamlined into three easy steps for students and families. Scholarship applications are managed through a “single application” method. Each application is reviewed and matched with the best-fitting scholarship source.
The Community Foundation does not make awards solely on the basis of need. Academic achievement, community involvement, extra-curricular activities, and financial need are all taken into consideration. Many scholarships were created by donors for specific colleges or fields of study. 

Students will be notified of scholarship awards in April and will be recognized at their high school awards ceremonies. Current college students will be notified by mail in June.
“Because of the generosity of our donors, we are able to support Mason County students in accessing educational opportunities beyond high school,” said Andrea Large, Foundation executive director. “This is an important investment in our community and we hope that many of these young adults return to Mason County to live, work and give back to the community that invested in them.”

All Community Foundation scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis.
