Community Foundation offers online applications for more than $400,000 in scholarships

MONTGOMERY — The Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan has added an online scholarship application system called Foundant.
Highly recommended by fellow Community Foundations across the country, Foundant is an online application portal that allows students to be matched to scholarships that they’re eligible for and apply for them all through an accessible online system.
With this enhanced technology, it is anticipated that even more students will be able to identify and apply for scholarships at the Foundation.
In 2019, more than $400,000 in scholarships will be available to students throughout the Hudson Valley.
Scholarships range from $250 to $20,000 based on various criteria and are offered to students and adults pursuing a wide range of continuing education.
From journalism and law enforcement to medicine and agriculture, the Community Foundation administers more than 100 scholarships to support those students eager to further their education.
“As we move into the future, this online system will greatly enhance our ability to support area students – now and forever, while ensuring that our many donors’ wishes are honored,” said Elizabeth Rowley, CFOS President and CEO.
Scholarship recipients are decided by various selections committees and applying does not guarantee an award.
