Ashland County Community Foundation
The community foundation is like the community’s charitable savings account. We pool resources from community members, invest them and then use them to make grants for the betterment of the entire community. We exist to serve donors, nonprofit organizations and the community as a whole. Donors to ACCF enjoy tax advantages not available to private foundation donors. They also receive professional services without hiring staff. Nonprofit organizations receive grants from community foundations to support their programs and projects. Many nonprofits also establish their own endowment funds with the foundation as a means of investing for the future.
This scholarship is to assist graduating seniors from any Ashland County high school. This scholarship is renewable for up to three years provided the student has maintained a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and continues to attend one of the schools listed above.
