“We would like to thank our Community Foundation staff, Scholarship committee volunteers, and the Community Foundation donors that make these scholarships possible,” said Erica Heminger, Executive Director of the Branch County Community Foundation. “Our Scholarship program is special to us because in most cases these scholarships received were created in memory of someone who is no longer with us. Either the family is honoring their loved one by setting aside money for you to go to college, or the person themselves left money in their Will or Trust so that others will also have the opportunity for higher education. Helping maintain an individual’s family’s local legacy is an honor”, said Erica Heminger.
The Community Foundation will be celebrating our scholarship recipients again this year by delivering yard signs to the scholarship recipients who live in Branch County and Colon, as well as posting highlights on our website and social media. Keep an eye out for our Facebook posts to learn more about all this year’s recipients!
