COMMUNITY CHOICE FOUNDATION


Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship recipients! These deserving scholars represent Michigan’s best and brightest in three distinct categories: graduating high school seniors, and those pursuing continuing education and skilled trades programs.

Meet Lily Swatosh, one of 26 students awarded a Community Choice Foundation scholarship for her compassion, leadership, and commitment to Giving Big.

Growing up in a home that welcomed foster children, Lily learned early the power of kindness and stability. Inspired by teachers who made her feel seen and supported, she is now following in their footsteps, dedicating her future to helping young students thrive.
