This scholarship guide was created by program staff at The Community Foundation of Muncie & Delaware County to provide guidance and tips to students who are applying for the Foundation’s scholarships.
Scholarships at The Community Foundation are competitive. Writing essays, gathering activity information, and coordinating letters of recommendation can take a significant amount of time. We hope that this guide provides you with the tools to submit a scholarship application.
