SCHOLARSHIPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2025
High school seniors who attend a Darke County high school or are home-schooled in Darke County may apply for Darke County Foundation scholarships. Application is available Feb. 17, 2025, and due March 31, 2025.
​​
Approximately 75 awards will be given to students pursuing 4-year or 2-year degrees, or shorter vocational certificates.* ​​Awards may be based on the following criteria (not necessarily in this order): grade point average, ACT score, activities, essay, field of study, and financial need. Some awards do not require ACT score. Some awards are merit-based without regard to financial need.
​​
Scholarship recipients will be notified in May 2025. Scholarship money will be disbursed following the student’s first grading period in college if the student earns at least a 2.75 grade point average. ​For questions, contact the Darke County Foundation at (937) 548-4673 or dcf@darkecountyfoundation.org.
