The Joseph Fanning Drake High School Endowment Scholarship

The Joseph Fanning Drake High School Endowment Scholarship is administered by the Central Alabama Community Foundation. This program is designed to support students who are graduates of J.F. Drake High School or direct descendants of a graduate. To qualify, applicants must have achieved a minimum GPA of 3.0 and earned an ACT score of 21 or higher. The funding helps cover educational expenses for students attending college or trade school. While the provider manages the application process directly, students should also complete the FAFSA, as community foundation scholarships often use federal student aid data to evaluate financial need or coordinate overall financial aid packages. Candidates must submit their completed applications and all required academic documentation by the March 1 deadline to be considered for this opportunity.
