Scholarships

Community Foundation of Greater Flint Scholarship Program

The online application is now OPEN and will close on March 15, 2025. The majority of our scholarships use an online application that allows you to submit one application for all of the scholarships for which you are eligible.  Note that some scholarships have a different application process.  View the list of scholarships offered and how to apply.  

When the application reopens, click Pre-Qualifying Questions to get started. Enter your information and we will provide you with the list of scholarships available based on the criteria you meet. Once you apply, your application will be reviewed by an advisory committee.  Most decisions are made by May and you will receive notification by email.
