SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Community Foundation for the
Land of Lincoln is now accepting applications for the 2026
scholarship program. There are more than 45 different post-secondary
scholarships available. Last year, more than $250,000 was awarded in
scholarships and scholarship renewals.
The Community Foundation serves the counties of Cass, Christian,
Logan, Macoupin, Menard, Montgomery, Morgan and Sangamon in central
Illinois. Scholarships are available for graduating high school
seniors as well as current and returning college students.
This year we are launching a new scholarship software, and students
will need to complete just one application to be matched with the
specific scholarships for which they are eligible. Additional
information and a link to the application can be found on the
Scholarships page of the Community Foundation’s website, as well
as the list of scholarship opportunities and criteria details. You
can also access the application by scanning this QR code.

will be notified by early May. All scholarships are for
post-secondary education.
Through philanthropic services, strategic grantmaking and community
leadership, the Community Foundation for

matter.”
