Joan Japa Vujovich Scholarship

The Community Foundation of St. Joseph County offers the Joan Japa Vujovich Scholarship to support graduating seniors from Riley High School in South Bend, Indiana. To qualify, applicants must reside in St. Joseph County and plan to enroll in a full-time course of study at an accredited two-year or four-year institution. The selection committee gives preference to students who are actively engaged in the musical arts. Recipients receive $1,000 annually to help cover the costs of tuition and required fees. This award is renewable for up to eight semesters, provided the student maintains satisfactory academic progress. To apply, students must complete the online Community Foundation of St. Joseph County scholarship application, which opens in December and is due February 15. While the foundation does not explicitly require the FAFSA for this specific fund, completing the federal financial aid application is generally recommended for students seeking college aid.
