Community Foundation of Broward Scholarships
Community Foundation of Broward offers scholarships established through philanthropic funds and organizes them into pathways for high-school graduates, current college students, and adults returning to school or pursuing vocational training. It distinguishes scholarships administered directly from those coordinated with Broward Education Foundation. That distinction matters because portals, documents, and award rules can vary by administrator.
About Community Foundation of Broward Scholarships
Community Foundation of Broward offers scholarships established through philanthropic funds and organizes them into pathways for high-school graduates, current college students, and adults returning to school or pursuing vocational training. It distinguishes scholarships administered directly from those coordinated with Broward Education Foundation. That distinction matters because portals, documents, and award rules can vary by administrator.
The fund list includes opportunities for different students, from nursing or creative-writing pathways to women returning to school and students transferring between local institutions. There is no single award amount or eligibility rule for all. The 2026 cycle reviewed has closed; the next date must be confirmed on each program page rather than borrowed from another scholarship’s calendar.
To begin, choose the pathway that matches your situation and check whether the application goes to the Community Foundation or Broward Education Foundation. Some awards require Broward residency, a specific high school, a particular training program, or documentation of personal circumstances. Prepare transcripts, enrollment proof, references, and FAFSA when required; your college financial-aid office can explain how the award coordinates with Pell and other funding.
Adult applicants may have options separate from high-school awards, but should verify age, enrollment, and program-accreditation rules. The foundation directs students to its scholarship team when the correct form is unclear. Do not send sensitive records to an address found on social media: use the official portal, keep receipts, and confirm the amount, permitted use, and renewal terms in writing.
Ask the financial-aid office for a written term-by-term estimate separating tuition, fees, housing, books, and other costs. Keep the award letter, records, and any service agreement. If your studies, residence, or course load change, contact the administrator before that decision affects your aid.
