Scholarships for Current College Students

The Hamilton Community Foundation understands the need for assistance with funding education beyond the first year in college. The scholarships are to assist students in their Sophomore, Junior and Senior years in college as well as law students and medical students.

Each year, students are eligible to reapply, but awards are not guaranteed. Scholarships vary in amount and are based on college costs, student needs and available funds.   The number of recipients and amount of each scholarship are determined by the Foundation. All decisions are final.
