Clinton County Awards $377K in Scholarships to 97 Students

Ninety-seven students in Clinton County, Indiana just got life-changing news that will help them pursue their dreams without drowning in debt.

The Clinton County Community Foundation awarded $377,150 in scholarship money to local students for the 2026-2027 school year. The foundation distributed 47 new scholarships and renewed 50 existing ones, ensuring both new college students and continuing scholars get the support they need.

These scholarships weren't just handed out randomly. Students across Clinton County earned them through various achievements and activities, recognizing their hard work and dedication to their education.

Foundation President Todd Moser credited the community's generosity for making this possible. "We are grateful for our donors and the generosity that makes it possible for us to support these students pursuing their dreams," he said.

The Ripple Effect

When local donors invest in education, they're not just helping individual students. They're strengthening the entire community for generations to come.

Every scholarship means one less student worried about how to pay tuition. It means more young people can focus on learning instead of working multiple jobs or taking on crushing debt.

These 97 students will bring their education back to their communities as teachers, nurses, engineers, and leaders. The return on investment for Clinton County will be measured in decades of service and innovation.

The foundation's work shows what's possible when a community decides to invest in its young people. Nearly $400,000 represents countless hours of fundraising, careful planning, and people who believe education changes lives.

For 97 Clinton County students, the path to their dreams just got a whole lot clearer.
