SCHOLARSHIPS

The Elwood Area Foundation currently administers 20 scholarships for organizations, businesses, and families.  The requirements and details for each scholarship are set out by the group who establishes the scholarship.  Applications can be obtained from the Elwood Guidance Counselor.

 

In 2018, more than $35,000 in scholarships was awarded to Elwood area students. Thank you to all those who make these scholarships available to our area youth. You are helping them achieve their dreams! A list of scholarship winners can be found in the summer newsletter.

 

STUDENT LOANS

Our student loan program has been operating since 1980. Since that time, EAF has loaned out more than $450,000 and assisted nearly 150 area college students.  The Elwood Area Foundation is proud to provide this service to area youth.

GRANTS

The Elwood Area Foundation offers grants for youth enrichment and community improvement projects.  Funding for grants come from Gala proceeds, as well as donations made outside of the Gala and the interest earned on Foundation investments.
