Kent Community Foundation accepting college scholarship applications

The Kent Community Foundation is accepting college scholarship applications for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Applications can be submitted online on the Kent Community Foundation website. The deadline for applications is March 22, 2024. The foundation has been offering scholarships since 1988, growing their donor and scholarship base ever since.

Students receive the awards at a special May scholarship awards celebration, done in partnership with other local organizations including Rotary Club of Kent, Kent Sunrise Rotary, Kent Area PTSA Council, Valley Girls & Guys and Kent Schools Foundation.
