LAWRENCEBURG, IND., SEPTEMBER 11, 2008 – The Dearborn Community Foundation, Inc. (DCF) is accepting applications for two scholarships: Ivy Tech Community College Educational Grant and the Clifford & Gladys Ellerbrook Ender Nursing Scholarship.

The Foundation established the Ivy Tech scholarship to encourage Dearborn County residents to improve their educational attainment locally. Up to five scholarships totaling $800 each are available to Ivy Tech students continuing their education at the local institution.

The Ellerbrook Ender Nursing scholarship was established to help ensure that nursing care needs of the residents of Dearborn and Ohio counties are satisfied. Up to $5,000 in scholarship funds is available to students enrolled in a certified post-secondary nursing program and who are pursuing an undergraduate level LPN or RN degree with an accredited educational institution.
