CFMC Scholarships at Work
CFMC AWARDS MORE THAN $135,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS TO SENIORS COUNTY-WIDE
More than 70 high school seniors throughout Morgan County were recently awarded scholarships from the Community Foundation of Morgan County (CFMC). These graduates represented Martinsville, Mooresville, Monrovia, Eminence and Indian Creek High Schools.
“We’re so proud of the hard work these students have accomplished, and we’re excited to see what they’ll do in the future,” said CFMC President Ed Kominowski. “With more than $135,000 available in scholarships, we’re able to help many of them either go to college or another higher learning program.”
Since 2005 CFMC has been a source of numerous scholarship funds for two- or four-year college or trade school programs. Individuals and organizations can set up a scholarship, such as an endowment, and CFMC will manage the daily administrative and financial needs of that fund.
