FIST Coordinates Community Trick-or-Treat for Canned Goods
Over the past few weeks the FIST youth pod “trick-or-treated” for canned goods. The pod challenged area schools and went door-to-door in some communities. Goods collected in Angola were donated to Project Help and goods from Fremont went to the Fremont Community Church Food Bank. In total over 50 young people gathered over 4,000 canned goods for the food pantries.

2018 Scholarship Season Begins November 1, 2017

The Steuben County Community Foundation has over $115,000 of scholarship dollars available for post-secondary education through multiple funding sources. Applications are open November 1, 2017 with a deadline of January 31, 2018. 

SCCF manages 55 scholarship funds established by a variety of donors. Each scholarship has varying requirements based on the establishing donor’s desires; no student is eligible for every scholarship but most students are eligible for at least one. All scholarships are administered through SmarterSelect®, an online application service. Scholarships are awarded by the SCCF Board of Directors who use a committee of trained community volunteers to match student applications with the founding donor’s intent. Visit www.steubenfoundation.org/scholarships for more information.
