2008 Newton County Community Foundation Awards Scholarships Totaling $221,400

Local high school and college students from Newton County are benefiting from the generosity and foresight of donors to the Newton County Community Foundation.

Because of the generosity of their contributors, the Foundation has been able to provide financial assistance for many young people in Newton County seeking a post-secondary education.

Students interested in pursuing scholarships through the Foundation are encouraged to contact their guidance counselor after the first of the year to learn of the requirements for each scholarship and the application process.
