Scholarships

Scholarship Opportunity: Fairfield Foundation – due 3/7/2025

by

With the preliminary review deadline quickly approaching on Friday, February 14, we’d like to offer a list of common mistakes that would make a scholarship application ineligible:

  • High school students must confirm that their counselors upload their transcript BEFORE the final deadline.
  • Student Aid Index (SAI): When uploading your 2025-2026 FAFSA information, make sure that your document shows your name, school year, and SAI.

You can find example documents and tips in the FAQs section of our website. Don’t wait until the last minute! You need time to request transcripts and if applicable, letters of reference. Some scholarships require additional information, which can only be viewed and requested AFTER you submit the general application portion.

Remember our preliminary review deadline is Friday, February 14 and our final application deadline is Friday, March 7, 2025. If you have any questions, please email Program Officer, Andrea Spires Drumm, at aspires@fairifeldcountyfoundation.org.
