First Congregational Church Endowed Scholarship — High School Senior

The First Congregational Church Endowed Scholarship — High School Senior is a financial aid program administered by the Emporia Community Foundation. This scholarship is designed for graduating high school seniors who plan to continue their education at either Flint Hills Technical College or Emporia State University. While the program is open to students entering various fields of study, the selection committee gives preference to applicants who plan to pursue careers in education or English as a Second Language (ESL).

The award provides $1,000 to assist with the costs of post-secondary education. To apply, students must submit their completed application directly to the Emporia Community Foundation by the April 1st deadline. Because this is an external scholarship program rather than a federal aid package, applicants should file the FAFSA separately to determine their eligibility for federal grants, work-study programs, and student loans, which can be combined with this award to help cover tuition and other college expenses.
