Scholars Benefit From Local Endowments
The Tipp City Foundation recently awarded over $33,000 in scholarships. These awards were for graduating high school seniors and adults returning to continue their education. Of the 66 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.

Graduates from Tippecanoe, Bethel, Miami East and Troy are represented.
