See the Impact

Our scholarship program is made possible by generous Scholarship Fund Founders. These members of the Southwest Indiana community believe in investing in education to advance the next generation.


When you create a Scholarship Fund, you provide resources for students based on the selection criteria of your choice, leaving a legacy that will enrich our community for generations. Scholarship Funds are a wonderful way to honor a loved one, assist specific student populations, or encourage a field of study.

Build a Charitable Legacy

Your gift of $25,000 or more creates a Scholarship Fund to provide educational resources for generations. Gifts are tax deductible and can be cash, stock, IRA distributions, real property, mutual funds, or even closely held business interests. You can add to your fund at any time.

Thank you for being a part of our scholarship community.

We’re reaching out to past and current scholarship recipients to better understand the impact of our programs and to help tell the stories that inspire our donors and future scholars.


Your input is incredibly valuable. This survey will take about 5–10 minutes to complete and includes questions about your educational journey, how the scholarship helped you, and your experiences since receiving it. We’re also collecting testimonials and stories to highlight the real-life impact of our scholarships in our reports, newsletters, and website.
