Rex Fisher History Scholarship

The Rex Fisher History Scholarship, administered by the LaGrange County Community Foundation, supports graduating high school seniors from LaGrange County who plan to pursue a career in education. To qualify, applicants must be planning to earn a degree in education with a specific academic focus on teaching history. The award provides $10,000 per year and is renewable for up to 3 years, allowing for a maximum award of $40,000. To be considered for this opportunity, students must complete the foundation's common scholarship application, which matches local students to various funds based on their residency, academic goals, and career paths. While the provider does not explicitly require the FAFSA for this specific fund, completing the federal form is generally recommended for students seeking community-based financial aid. The deadline to submit the completed application and all required materials is February 15, 2024, at 4 p.m.
