May 18, 2020 – The Adams County Community Foundation today announced $118,700 in new scholarship awards to students in Adams County and beyond. The amount awarded brings the total amount of scholarships granted by the Adams County Community Foundation since its founding to more than one million dollars thanks to scholarships funded by private donors and Adams Electric Cooperative.
“Our Scholarship Committee, led by board member Emily Rice-Townsend, does an outstanding job matching our donor’s charitable intent to worthy students to provide scholarships for college and technical training,” noted Community Foundation President and CEO Ralph Serpe. “We celebrate these wonderful students as they prepare to embark on their college and technical careers, and to acknowledge the generous donors who help make it all possible.”
Awards from forty scholarship funds at the Community Foundation range from $500 to $20,000 each and go to students planning to pursue or currently pursuing higher education.
