PENTWATER – The Oceana Community Foundation is excited to announce that applications for its 2026 scholarship program opened on Oct. 15. Each year, the Foundation helps local students access a wide range of scholarships to support their educational and career goals, whether pursuing skilled trades, apprenticeships, certificates, associate degrees, or bachelor’s degrees.
In 2025, the Foundation awarded scholarships to 192 students, representing an investment of $311,850 in Oceana County’s future.
The Foundation offers scholarships for everyone—whether students are pursuing skilled trades, apprenticeships, certificate programs, an associate degree, or a bachelor’s degree. All students are encouraged to apply, regardless of GPA, documentation status, field of study, family income or age.
For 2026, students will have access to 57 different scholarships through one simple application.
“Education opens doors to opportunity, and we are committed to making it accessible to as many students as possible,” said Tammy Carey, CEO at the Oceana Community Foundation. “The success of our 2025 scholarship recipients demonstrates the lasting impact our scholarship donors can have, and we look forward to continuing this tradition in 2026.”
The scholarship application will close March 1, 2026, with award notifications shared in May 2026.
