Talent Attraction Program Scholarship
The impact of the Hamilton Community Foundation is evident throughout our community. In addition to the support of the community as a whole, we continue with a special focus on educational programs and grants. In the past 60 years, we have provided millions in scholarships to thousands of local students, and this support continues with the new Talent Attraction Program (TAP) Scholarship.
The TAP Scholarship is what is known as a “reverse scholarship” where recent graduates will receive assistance with student loan debt.
General Scholarship Requirements

- Are not currently living in designated areas in the city of Hamilton BUT with plans to move to or live in one of the Urban Neighborhoods or in Armondale or Highland Park neighborhoods in Hamilton. To learn more about Hamilton's Neighborhoods see map
- Must demonstrate employment within Butler County or a full-time remote position in a professional role

Successful applicants to the program may receive up to $15,000. If the applicant ceases employment or moves out of an designated neighborhood before the funds have been disbursed, they forfeit the right to any future payments.
TAP scholarship applications are opened from time to time as funds become avalible. As they are reviewed, we will reach out to you for further instructions.
