Ivy Tech Community College Educational Grant Program
|
The Dearborn Community Foundation, Inc. has chosen to
encourage Dearborn
County residents to improve their levels of educational
attainment locally.
Educational grants in the amounts of $800 will be awarded to up
to five
continuing Ivy Tech State College students. The grant must be
used within two years from the time that it is awarded. The
educational grant will be applied to tuition fees and will be
paid directly to Ivy Tech Community College. With just cause, as
determined by the DCF board of directors, failure to complete
the courses taken with a passing grade and to meet the
scholarship requirements will result in the need for the student
to pay back the grant received or will
result in the revocation of remaining grant funds. The
Foundation actively
seeks to promote access, equity and diversity, and to avoid
discrimination
based on race, ethnicity, gender, disability or age.
