The Chautauqua Region Community Foundation Scholarships
The Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, founded in 1978, is an independent, private, nonprofit organization serving the Chautauqua Region of northwestern New York. They are dedicated to the improvement of their community. They are supported by private and public donors and seek contributions primarily from the community they serve.
Using money they have collected, they offer scholarships to students to further their education. Although the bulk of the scholarships are offered to high school seniors, some funds may be available for advanced study.
The funds held by the foundation come from individuals, families, companies, and nonprofit groups. The funds are often established to memorialize or honor an individual and the guideline for each scholarship is different. Therefore, you should read them carefully to see if you qualify.
