Jinks Family Scholarship Fund

The Jinks Family Scholarship Fund, administered by the Rush County Community Foundation, provides financial assistance to students pursuing post-secondary education. The program is open to residents of Rush County and Fayette County. Eligible applicants can be full-time or part-time students, including graduating high school seniors, current undergraduate or graduate students, and returning adult learners.

The scholarship covers qualified educational expenses, which include tuition, fees, books, supplies, and required equipment. It does not cover room, board, or travel. To apply, students must complete a single online application that determines eligibility for this and other foundation awards. Along with the application, candidates must submit an official academic transcript and their Student Aid Report, which is obtained after filing the FAFSA. The foundation splits the payment evenly between the fall and spring semesters, sending the funds directly to the recipient's school. The application deadline is February 15 at 11:59:59 pm.
