Gulf Coast Community Foundation is now accepting applications for its 2021-22 scholarship program. Prospective applicants may visit GulfCoastCF.org/scholarships to review scholarship requirements and complete the online application. The deadline to apply is Thursday, March 4.

Through its annual scholarship program, Gulf Coast Community Foundation assists students of all ages in pursuing higher education at accredited two- and four-year colleges, universities, or technical schools. Applicants must reside in Sarasota County, Charlotte County, or Boca Grande, and they must plan to attend a qualifying postsecondary institution during the 2021-22 academic year.

Gulf Coast awards scholarships from nearly 60 scholarship funds it administers, including many established by donors to support particular fields of study or assist students from specific schools or communities. Candidates can complete a single application to be considered for all scholarship opportunities for which they qualify.

Last year, the foundation awarded 527 scholarships totaling more than $600,000 to deserving local students. Since establishing its scholarship program in 1997, Gulf Coast has awarded nearly $9 million in scholarships to help students pursue their dreams of higher education.
