Jasper County Scholarships Awarded

The Jasper Foundation, Inc. and the Newton County Community Foundation support education as a lifelong pursuit. Through the generosity of their contributors, the Foundations have been able to provide financial assistance to many young people in Jasper and Newton counties seeking a post-secondary education. The winners represent both Jasper County and Newton County.

Scholarships are awarded by a separate advisory committee, either designated by the donor or Foundation committee. Selections are based upon established criteria and guidelines.

High school seniors applying for a scholarship must complete the application forms available for each scholarship. Most applications are available from the guidance counselors at the local high schools. If a particular application is not available please contact the Foundation office for assistance. All scholarship applications must be completed and turned in either to their school or the Foundation office by the deadline date.

Currently enrolled college students must complete the proper application form for the particular scholarship they are interested in. All scholarship applications must be completed and turned into the Foundation office by the deadline date.

Certain scholarships will require additional financial information from the student. Many times the information is brought to the interview before final selections are made.

Our most prestigious (and valuable) scholarship program is the Lilly Community Scholarship Program. Meet our 2013 winners.
