Josephine Sebach Scholarship Grant

The Josephine Sebach Scholarship, offered by the Muskingum County Community Foundation, supports graduating seniors from Muskingum County high schools. Eligible students must have a GPA between 2.0 and 3.5 and be pursuing a 2- or 4-year degree at an accredited institution. This scholarship emphasizes motivation and clear career goals, making it accessible to a diverse range of students, including those who may not traditionally qualify for financial aid.

Mission & Vision
The Envisioned Future of the Muskingum County Community Foundation is that Muskingum County’s quality of life attracts organizations and people to pursue their dreams and practice their passions.
In 1985, civic leaders in the area established the Zanesville Development Corporation to generate ideas to enhance the quality of life in Zanesville. The corporation suggested three projects: formation of a community leadership program, an enhanced economic corridor along Interstate 70, and the establishment of a community foundation.
Multiple scholarships are awarded to students who have graduated from a Zanesville/Muskingum County high school who currently reside within Muskingum County. Applicants must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0-3.5, be a graduating senior, pursuing a 2- or 4-year degree/certificate at an accredited institution, have clear knowledge of specific occupational goals, exhibit motivation, and financial need for the scholarship. This scholarship is renewable.
