Cape Cod Foundation Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Cape Cod Foundation
Intro
Founded in 1989 with a single scholarship, The Cape Cod Foundation has grown into the steward of more than 330 separate funds. More than 100 of those funds provide annual scholarships to local students pursuing a variety of educational paths. Each fund reflects the generosity of individuals or families who wanted to expand learning opportunities within the community.
How we help
Our staff manages all scholarship processes and acts as a resource for students, parents/guardians, and school officials. The scholarship listings on our site give a concise overview of the funds we administer.
One application, better matching
All Foundation scholarships are applied for through the Universal Application. When you complete it, the system automatically identifies the scholarships for which you qualify so you won’t miss matching opportunities. The online scholarship portal also includes additional awards from our partner, the Cape Cod Association, as well as special grants for other educational pursuits.
