The Governing Committee of the Licking County Foundation approved scholarship funding in the total amount of $795,588 for 2014. $730,088 was awarded recently to 327 area high school seniors, college students and adult re-entry students from 67 scholarship funds established by generous donors who have made an investment in the future of Licking County students. The scholarship awards—ranging from $1,000 to $8,000—are in recognition of each recipient’s achievements and commitment to higher education. Scholarship recipients were selected from a pool of 727 applicants by the Foundation’s 65-member volunteer Scholarship Review Committee.
