Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes
If you are a high school senior or an adult living in Upstate New York or Northern Pennsylvania, you may qualify for a scholarship administered by the Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes. Applications become available on November 1 each year, and most scholarship deadlines fall around February 1.
A variety of scholarship funds have been created at the foundation by individuals, families, and businesses to enable local residents to attend college or gain job-related skills. The foundation’s guiding principle is that financial cost should not prevent someone from continuing their education. Philanthropic dollars are most effective when they expand access to post-secondary opportunities, and the foundation is committed to helping applicants through the process.
If you feel uncertain or have questions about applying to college or to our scholarship program, please reach out—staff are available to support you through each step.
