Adult Scholarship Opportunities:
Share With Your Students!

We know many of our nonprofit partners help students of all ages along their journey to empowerment and fulfillment. That is why we are happy to announce that our Adult Scholarship Application is now available via our website. Please feel free to share and encourage students of 24 years of age or older to apply.
 
Something worth mentioning to all applicants: Completing one Adult Scholarship application will allow our scholarship committee to consider them for 40+ different scholarship opportunities.
 
To be eligible, applicants must be:
 
  • A resident of Sarasota, Manatee, DeSoto, or Charlotte counties

  • Pursuing or planning to pursue further education at an accredited university, community college, technical school, or certification program
 
An important update related to our Adult Scholarship Application this year:
 
  • We have transitioned our Adult Scholarship Application to a new system this year: AIM powered by ISTS. Once students have created their accounts in the new system (if they do not already have one), they will complete our Eligibility Form prior to being routed to our Adult Scholarship Application. If prompted, the program key for our Adult Scholarship is CFSarasota.
 
Please direct any questions regarding the online application system to ISTS:

The application deadline is Friday, April 15 at 5:00 p.m.
For questions about this opportunity, please contact our team at scholarships@cfsarasota.org.
As the next round of stimulus checks are distributed across the country, we want to lift up a way in which our houseless community members can also access their stimulus checks.

According to the IRS, people experiencing houselessness may be eligible for an Economic Impact Payment, but they must register with the IRS by using the free Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Tool.

Below is a link to the IRS website with free online tools to file taxes for anyone with less than $72,000 in income and instructions on how to access funds. Instructions are available in both English and Spanish.

We encourage you to share these resources with your clients, friends, family, or neighbors in need.
