$400,000+ in scholarships available at Truman Heartland Community Foundation

     Truman Heartland Community Foundation (THCF) invites students of all ages to apply for nearly $500,000 in scholarships for the 2022-23 school year, including ten new scholarships.  
     "Whether you are a graduating high school senior, a current college student, or an adult looking to go back to school and finish your degree, chances are there is a scholarship available for you," Rachael Watkins, Director of Scholarships at THCF said. "We encourage everyone seeking higher education to apply for scholarships."
     Students can submit one general scholarship application that will match them with more than 50 scholarships they may be qualified to receive. If matched to scholarships, students may need to provide additional materials such as essays, letters of recommendation from specific people in their life, or statements about participation in certain types of activities. Be sure to provide all the additional requirements by the February 21, 2022 deadline to be considered.
     Truman Heartland also offers a number of scholarships that use separate, stand-alone applications. Deadlines and requirements for these stand-alone scholarships vary.

     In 2021, Truman Heartland awarded more than $468,000 in scholarships to 241 local students. Since 1982, THCF has awarded more than $5.1 million to help students reach their educational goals.
