Scholarships

Since 1986, the Community Foundation has been the leading source for post-secondary scholarship funding in Frederick County. Our program supports nearly every area of study imaginable, with scholarships funded by generous donors who believe in the value of education.

Some donors want to support students aspiring to careers similar to theirs; other donors want to give back to the community that has generously given to them. Others wish to honor the legacies of their loved ones, both living and deceased.

I am a biology major with a pre-med track at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. I plan to pursue a career in medicine upon graduation and become a pediatrician. Thanks to your generous scholarship, I hope that one day I will not only help patients but also help struggling students by assisting them as you have assisted me. Thank you for investing in my future.
