The Adams County Community Foundation is now accepting scholarship applications from Adams County high school graduates planning to attend college or trade school in 2025. The application period, which began on Friday, November 1, will remain open until February 12, 2025.
Eligible students can access the application form on the Foundation’s website at www.accfo.org by clicking on the “Scholarship Application” button.
“Thanks to the generosity of several donors, we now have five endowment funds providing scholarships to Adams Countians attending colleges and trade schools,” said Paul Worley, Executive Director of the Adams County Community Foundation. “These funds include the C.E. Smith Family Scholarship Fund, Charles Hugh McGovney Scholarship Fund, Earl and Helen Johnson Scholarship Fund, Adams County Scholarship Fund, and the First State Bank Dan Ferguson Scholarship Fund.”
Worley highlighted that 35 scholarships were awarded from these endowments last year. He also encouraged those interested in supporting the Foundation’s mission to consider making a donation, with options including cash, stocks, and real estate. Contributions can be made online at accfo.org by selecting the “Donate Now” button.
