WARSAW — The Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship is now accepting applications until Sep15. This scholarship is a four-year, full-tuition scholarship that allows recipients from each participating Indiana county to attend an Indiana college or university of their choice.
Locally, the Kosciusko County Community Foundation recommends two recipients through a blind review process. Top applicants are submitted to Independent Colleges of Indiana, the statewide administrator of the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program, for the final selection.
“This scholarship is more than financial support, it’s a celebration of hard work, dedication, and community impact,” said Amy Cannon, Scholarship Director at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation.
When considering applicants, the Foundation looks at criteria like academic excellence, community service, extracurricular involvement, work experience, references, and essay responses.
Eligible applicants must be Kosciusko County residents who are a current high school senior and will receive their diploma from an accredited Indiana high school no later than June 30, 2026, intending to pursue a full-time baccalaureate course of study at an accredited public or private nonprofit college or university in Indiana, pursuing an academic and/or technical honors diploma at the end of their junior year of high school; have a GPA of 3.8 or higher on a 4-point scale or 10.3 or higher on a 12-point scale at the end of their junior year of high school.
Students wishing to apply should go to the Community Foundation’s scholarship portal at kcfoundation.org/scholarshipportal and fill out the 2026 Merit Based Scholarships application.
