Community-based Scholarships

Generally educational institutions, particularly at the post-secondary level, do an excellent job of administering awards. In my work, however, I have found a growing number of donors who want to help students who are in a specific community and/or share challenges or characteristics. The goal of these donors is to help the student, regardless of where they intend to study. In other words, the loyalty of the donor is to the future students, not a college or university.
