The North Carolina Community Foundation is honored to partner with fundholders to administer hundreds of scholarship opportunities across North Carolina.We currently manage nearly 150 scholarship funds for individuals, families, school systems and organizations in the counties we serve throughout North Carolina. All our scholarship opportunities are made from specific funds with criteria established by the original donor. In 2022, we awarded more than $1.1 million in scholarships to 265 students from across North Carolina.
