Scholarships

The Martin County Community Foundation has a growing number of scholarship funds, each with a different purpose and eligibility requirements. For example, one scholarship might be restricted to graduating seniors who plan on attending a public, Florida college while others require a student to have a strong history of volunteerism.

If you think you might be interested in setting up a scholarship fund, the Foundation can provide complete turnkey service -- including drafting scholarship criteria, publicizing scholarships, and evaluating candidates. For more information, contact Bridget Baratta at bbaratta@yourmccf.org.


If you are a student interested in applying for one of the Foundation's scholarships, we encourage you to review carefully each scholarship description in the section entitled Scholarship Fund Profiles to see if you might be eligible.
