     Truman Heartland Community Foundation (THCF) invites applications for the more than $200,000 in scholarships available for students.
     “In addition to stand-alone applications, students can submit a general scholarship application and we will match them with more than 200 scholarships that they may be eligible to receive,” Rachael Cassiday Watkins, Truman Heartland’s Director of Programs and Donor Services said.
     The deadline for Truman Heartland’s general scholarship application is December 31, 2019. Applicants have until February 1st to submit additional documents for each scholarship that is a potential match. Scholarships may require additional items, including, but not limited to, transcripts with final fall 2019 grades, essays, letters of reference or statements about participation in certain activities.
     Some scholarships are not included in the general scholarship application. Deadlines and requirements for these stand-alone scholarships vary.
