In addition to full tuition to the accredited Indiana college or university of their choice, the students will receive a $900 annual stipend for books and equipment.
“We couldn’t be more thankful to the Lilly Endowment for their generosity and continued support of our foundation and this community,” said Crystal Gunther, director of community philanthropy for the Community Foundation of Southern Indiana. “These scholarships provide life-changing opportunities that will help four seniors in our community to continue their education and pursue their dreams.”
