On Monday, the Quad Cities Community Foundation announced its annual scholarship recipients — totaling a record-breaking $754,894 in awards.
This year, 79 scholarships were awarded to Quad-Cities area students thanks to donors to scholarship funds at the Community Foundation. More than half of these awards are renewable, giving recipients ongoing financial support throughout their academic careers. Scholarships were awarded to students of all educational paths, ranging from community colleges and four-year universities to trade and technical schools.

She said the Community Foundation and its donors remain “deeply committed” to investing in local students’ success, said Sue Hafkemeyer, president and CEO of the Community Foundation.
This year, the Community Foundation launched six new scholarship funds.
Other Community Foundation funds celebrated major milestones this year, too. The Don E. and Charlotte Williams Scholarship awarded its 500th scholarship, and the Paul and Barbara Yamber Memorial STEM Scholarship and Edwin R. Adland and Ruth H. Adland Scholarships each reached a total of $300,000 in awards.
The full list of 2025 scholarship recipients is available on the QCCF website at qccommunityfoundation.org.
