The Tipp City Foundation recently awarded nearly $40,000 in scholarships. These awards were for graduating high school seniors and adults returning to continue their education. Of the 67 endowment funds within the Foundation, 18 represent scholarships.
Often these funds commemorate inspirational values of the scholarship founder; when this is the case, applicants are measured against those standards. Winners are determined through a vetting process led by an independent body of judges.
