Applications for Starke County Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship to Open in August

The Starke County Community Foundation’s Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship online application opens August 3. 

The Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship is a four-year full-tuition scholarship awarded to one high school senior who will begin his or her college career in the fall of 2022.  The recipient must intend to enroll as a full-time student and pursue a baccalaureate degree at any accredited public or private Indiana college or university.

To be eligible to apply for this scholarship, applicants must be current Starke County residents and a high school senior on track to graduate by the end of June 2022 with a diploma from an accredited Indiana high school. 

The award is based on academic performance, service in community, work, and school, as well as application essays. A personal interview will also weigh significantly in the committee’s selection process. The online application deadline is September 2.
