Starke County residents pursuing higher education are encouraged to apply for three summer scholarships through the Starke County Community Foundation.
The Back Home Again in Indiana Scholarship supports non-traditional students who wish to pursue higher education and or training to enhance their skills for employment. Non-traditional students include those who have graduated from high school or obtained a GED and have delayed entrance into college, rather than earning a degree immediately after high school.
The Megan Elytha Jean Sahlhoff Music Scholarship provides scholarships to North Judson-San Pierre students who are planning to study music or a related field.
The Forrest and Helen Whitson Scholarship provides scholarships to sophomores and higher-level Purdue University students in the school of Engineering, Agriculture, or Consumer and Family Living and who also graduated from a Starke County High School.
Applications and information are available here. The deadline to apply is July 12, 2023. For more information, contact the Northern Indiana Community Foundation Scholarship Coordinator, Shannon Berger, at 574-223-2202.
