Fairfield County Foundation Scholarship Applications – due 3/11/2022

The Fairfield County Foundation is currently accepting applications for more than 90 different scholarship funds for local students for the 2022-2023 school year using one online application. The application officially opened December 1, 2021 and the deadline to submit applications is Friday, March 11, 2022.

Applicants are encouraged to check out the scholarships page on our website for more details, criteria, tips and frequently asked questions to assist in filling out the application. The Foundation’s application system filters down which scholarships students are eligible to receive based on the criteria of each scholarship fund.

“We have scholarships for virtually every area of interest for students, and a wide variety of criteria for eligibility,” said Amy Eyman, Executive Director, Fairfield County Foundation. “Whether you are a high school senior getting ready to head to college for the first time, or someone who wants to return to college after being in the workforce, there is a scholarship that fits your need.”

The Foundation staff will conduct a preliminary review for completeness on all applications submitted by Monday, February 21, 2022. Applicants will receive an email with any issues by March 1, 2022 so that any problems can be corrected before the final deadline on Friday, March 11, 2022. This does not increase the chances of receiving a scholarship but provides an opportunity for mistakes to be corrected before the deadline and decreases the possibility of an application being ineligible.

Generally, scholarships are reserved for residents of Fairfield County or graduates of a high school in Fairfield County; however, there are a few that are available to students outside of the county. Applicants can be graduating high school seniors, current undergraduate, graduate, non-traditional or vocation/technical school students.
