VW County Foundation information

The Van Wert County Foundation announces that scholarship applications for the 2014-15 school year will be available beginning April 1.

Students currently on a scholarship and students who applied as high school seniors in the spring of 2013 will automatically be sent necessary application forms. Other students who are finishing their freshman, sophomore or junior year in college in the spring of 2014 may contact The Van Wert County Foundation at 138 E. Main St. in Van Wert, call 419.238.1743, or email info@vanwertcountyfoundation.org for an application.

For students to be eligible for a scholarship grant, they must be graduates of one of the high schools serving Van Wert county residents, including Spencerville and Parkway, a graduate of Delphos Jefferson or Delphos St. John’s, or a graduate of Antwerp, Paulding, or Wayne Trace High School serving Paulding County residents. The student must have completed their freshman year in college with at lease a 2.75 accumulated grade point average.  At the end of their sophomore year and thereafter, students must have a 3.0 GPA.

Grants are made for no more than three years, with the exception that, for those courses of study requiring five years to earn a baccalaureate degree, a fourth grant may be made.  No grants are made beyond the baccalaureate degree.

Scholarships are based on residency, college grade point average and financial need and are available for any recognized field of study leading to an associate or baccalaureate degree.
