The 2025 Franklin County Community Foundation Scholarship will apply you for MANY scholarships housed at FCCF.
Deadline: March 3, 2025
Important things to note:
- Weighted or Unweighted GPA? You will use your cumulative GPA, which is weighted
- If you didn't take the ACT, you can put in a dash or 0 in that field.
- When listing AP, Dual Credit, or Honors classes you may not have enough room in the spaces provided. Just list your most recent classes. All of your courses are listed on your transcript that the Scholarship Committee will see.
- Applicant appraisal = similar to a letter of recommendation. When it is asking for Applicant Appraisal Emails, you will enter the email for the person you would like to recommend you for the scholarship. Remember, it is good practice to ask your recommenders ahead of time, rather than just putting them down and expecting them to do this for you. This will also make it easier to check in with them near the deadline if they haven't finished their part yet :)
- Do I have to fill out the FAFSA to be eligible for these? No! If you have not yet filled out the FAFSA, don't fret. You do not have to have the FAFSA on file for these scholarships. These are based on academic performance and social involvement rather than just financial need.

High-achieving high school and college students who plan to teach in Indiana for at least five years can receive up to $10,000 per year of college (up to $40,000 total) from the scholarship.
Students must apply by January 31, 2025, at ScholarTrack.IN.gov.

OR

OR
• Have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
Entering its ninth year, the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship is building Indiana’s teacher pipeline. Nearly 90 percent of the scholarship recipients from the inaugural cohort are actively teaching in Hoosier classrooms or continuing their education beyond a bachelor’s degree. Additionally, a record-breaking 945 students applied for the scholarship last year, a 58 percentage point increase over the previous year. “The Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship is a proven program for advancing Hoosier teacher recruitment and retention,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Chris Lowery. “High-quality, motivated educators increase student success, and this opportunity helps attract Indiana’s best and brightest to the teaching profession.”
To continue earning the scholarship while in college, students must annually file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), earn at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA, and complete at least 30 credit hours. Additionally, current college students who apply must be able to use the scholarship for at least two full academic years. The Commission will notify applicants of their scholarship status via email in April 2025.
