LAWRENCEBURG, IND., JULY 22, 2009 – 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.

Educational grants of up to $800 are awarded to a maximum of five students continuing their education at Ivy Tech Community College. The grants must be used within two years from the time they are awarded. The educational grants are to be applied to tuition and books.

The Ellerbrook Ender Nursing scholarship was established to help ensure that nursing care needs of the residents of Dearborn and Ohio counties are satisfied. This Scholarship program was established to provide financial assistance to help individuals receive the adequate education and training to meet the nursing care needs of the two counties. Up to $5,000 in scholarships are available.
