The Community Choice Foundation empowers students to achieve their dreams while remaining in Michigan. When a student receives financial support, they are pledging to use their education to Give Big™ in Michigan by living and working here after graduation. Our goal is to create a diverse talent pipeline for Michigan while making education accessible and affordable.
Graduating High School
Graduating high school is the first step to higher education. Community Choice offers $5,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors with the desire to attend college in Michigan.
Continuing Education
We believe that learning is a life-long process. That’s why we are offering $2,500 and $5,000 continuing education scholarships to students looking to further their studies. Scholarship amount is based on pursued program and funds available at time of awarding.
Skilled Trades/CTE
Skilled trades will play an important role in Michigan’s future. We offer $2,500 scholarships for students who are seeking vocational training or certification through accredited programs.
Share your email and we will notify you when you can apply for a scholarship.
Application is expected to be open in December 2023.
