Learn what scholarship is right for you! The Community Foundation’s Scholarship Directory is published each year and provides valuable financial aid information to students pursuing education beyond high school. Although many of the scholarships listed in this directory are for high school seniors, there are several for students already enrolled in college as well as non-traditional students.

This year,the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties has separated the Scholarship Directory into two versions. The Martin County version lists scholarships offered and available only to students residing in Martin County. The Palm Beach County version lists scholarships offered and available only to students residing in Palm Beach County.

There are literally thousands of local and national scholarships available to students today. We have focused our efforts on identifying scholarships offered by organizations within Martin and Palm Beach Counties. However, we have also included in the directory a list of additional scholarship sources, including internet references.

We hope the Community Foundation Scholarship Directory is a helpful resource as you consider the numerous financial aid opportunities available.
