Victor and Dorothy Koontz Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Victor and Dorothy Koontz Memorial Scholarship Fund is administered by the Rush County Community Foundation. This program is specifically designed for male students who are preparing for a career as a Christian minister. It helps cover qualified educational expenses, which include tuition, fees, books, supplies, and required course equipment. The funds cannot be used for room and board, travel, or other non-required expenses.

To apply, students must complete the foundation's online application system, which opens in mid-December. As part of the application process, applicants must submit their official academic transcripts and their Student Aid Report (SAR), which is obtained after completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The foundation uses these documents to assess eligibility and financial need. The deadline to submit the completed application and all supporting materials is February 15 at 11:59:59 pm. Approved scholarship funds are sent directly to the recipient's chosen educational institution.
