St. Marys Community Foundation Awards Scholarships
The Directors of the St. Marys Community Foundation recently awarded scholarships and educational loans to St. Marys and area students for the 2017 academic year. The largest and most important way the Foundation has helped over the years has been through its loan and scholarship program to assist the youth of the area in attaining higher education beyond high school. This year, the total awarded for scholarships is $101,550.00 and the amount loaned to college students is $139,000.00 for a total of $240,550.00 provided to students to further their education.
The St. Marys Community Foundation was formed in 1974 as a public charity to help make the St. Marys community a better place to live for all our citizens. In the 43 year history of the Foundation, the grand total of loans and grants is over $3,484,430.00 to over 1,880 students.
The Foundation is grateful to the many community minded individuals who have established scholarship programs to provide a lasting source of educational funding. More information about the Community Foundation can be viewed at the website:
