Scholarship Program
A chance to learn. Relief from financial stress. Inspiration to realize a dream. Every day, Kitsap Community Foundation (KCF) scholarship recipients tell us how their lives are changing.
​
Underscoring all our scholarships is the belief that education is a tangible and long-term investment in the people shaping Kitsap's future. These scholarships originate from many different funds at KCF, established by individual donors, families, and civic organizations.
​
A review committee of community members participates in selecting KCF's scholarship recipients. They volunteer their time to review scholarship applications and identify students who best fit each fund's objectives.
*2024 UPDATE*
