Community Foundation of Howard County awards more than $554,253 in scholarships for 2020-21 school year

June 12, 2020 -- Through the Community Foundation of Howard County, 181 scholarships and renewals from 63 scholarship funds have been awarded to Howard County students with an approximate value of $554,253, including the two Lilly Endowment Community Scholarships.

“These scholarships are another example of the many donors in our caring community and the value they place on education,” said Glenn Grundmann, scholarship chair for the Community Foundation of Howard County. “In these extraordinary days, this tradition of giving is especially meaningful, given the challenges and the sacrifices so many of the graduating seniors will make this year. Although they may not have a graduation ceremony, they can know the community continues to support and reward their hard work.”

Grundmann went on to praise those who make the scholarships possible. “We thank and acknowledge our donor community,” he said. “Their generosity and continuing contributions help fund scholarships like these, which are so vital to students and their families.”
