Welcome to Scholarship Foundation of Indian River County

Scholarship Foundation of Indian River County was founded in 1964 by Dan K. Richardson and members of the local Rotary Club as a chapter of Scholarship America's Dollars for Scholars program with a vision and mission of helping local students realize their dream of going to college by providing need-based scholarships. Now known as Scholarship Foundation of Indian River County, our mission remains the same. Since 1965, we have awarded $12.4M to 2,968 accomplished and deserving Indian River County students.

In 2013, we recommitted to serve our local community and changed our name to Scholarship Foundation of Indian River County when our parent organization imposed new centralized systems and process requirements that we felt would take away from our resources and core mission of supporting local students with local dollars. We decided to disaffiliate from them and continue to pursue our mission as Scholarship Foundation of Indian River County.

New Name, Same Foundation

Though we changed our name, everything else remains the same -- our vision and mission, our board of directors, our program, our dedicated volunteers and our commitment to serve the students of Indian River County with the dream of going to college.

Scholarship Foundation is supported solely through the generosity of the residents and businesses of Indian River County. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. Our volunteer Board of Directors raises our funds, sets our policies, reviews scholarship applications and interviews student applicants and their families.

Scholarship qualifications and applications are available online each year after November 1 and must be submitted by our January-February deadlines. We welcome the support of all who wish to join us in fulfilling the college dreams of the hardworking, talented and deserving students in Indian River County.

Announcements:

Applications for the Class of 2020 will be available starting November 1, 2019. Please see complete information on requirements and the application process located under the Apply for Award tab on this site.
