Any area students interested in pursuing their education during the 2025-2026 school year are encouraged to apply for scholarships through the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation.

All students, both traditional and nontraditional, are encouraged to apply, as there are a wide variety of scholarships available.  The application period runs from January 1, 2025, to midnight on March 1, 2025.  “In 2024 we awarded over $300,000 in scholarships to over 200 area students. Students fill out just one application on our website (gracf.org/Apply for Scholarships and apply to the Universal Scholarship Application 2025) for all available scholarships. I’d again like to thank the donors for these scholarships – every year more community members establish scholarships – it’s an amazing community!” states Mindy Nuhring, Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation Executive Director.

Scholarships are one way that the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation has been connecting donors’ charitable intentions to community needs for 30 years to make our Greater Itasca Area a better place to live.
