Ashland County Community Foundation’s Scholarship Application Window is Now Open
ASHLAND – Ashland County Community Foundation’s scholarship application window is now open for those seeking assistance in funding the next step in their education.
Over the years, numerous donors have enabled students to further their education with the help of scholarship funds set up through ACCF. Students are invited to apply for these scholarships from now until March 15.
In 2024, 300 scholarships were awarded from 202 scholarship funds to graduating high school seniors, continuing college students and non-traditional students with a similar number of scholarships available in 2025.
Donors have designed hundreds of opportunities to meet the unique needs of students’ interests and academic pursuits. Thus, scholarships are wide-ranging in eligibility and selection criteria. No two scholarships are the same. Students with a range of academic abilities are encouraged to apply. Most, but not all, ACCF scholarships are for Ashland County students and residents only.
“ACCF has so many generous donors who have created scholarship funds to benefit students with many different interests and life goals,” Lanie Hartge, ACCF’s Educational Programs Director, said. “Some scholarships have very specific requirements, while others are very general. We encourage all students to apply as we have scholarships available for those attending trade schools through graduate programs.”

To help simplify the application process, ACCF’s online scholarship system utilizes one application form to be considered for all opportunities for which an applicant may be eligible.
However, depending on the scholarship, candidates may be prompted to answer supplemental questions, write an additional essay, or request a letter of recommendation for even more scholarship opportunities.
The online application should be filled out as completely and thoroughly as possible. Missing or incomplete information may disqualify applicants for a scholarship opportunity. It is strongly recommended that applicants give themselves at least two weeks before the March 15 deadline to apply to ensure all the requirements can be met, and their applications can be processed in a timely manner. ACCF cannot guarantee that applications submitted on March 15 by graduating high school seniors will be processed in time as transcripts must be uploaded by high school guidance counselors.
If you have any questions, please contact Lanie Hartge at lanie@ashlandforgood.org. ACCF is grateful for the opportunity to invest in tomorrow’s leaders through its scholarship program.
