Investing in Sheridan County’s next generation of leaders
At the Sheridan County Community Foundation, we are proud to invest in the future of our community by supporting students as they pursue post-secondary education and career goals. Through our growing portfolio of scholarship funds, we help remove financial barriers, open doors to opportunity, and empower the next generation of leaders who will shape Sheridan County and Northwest Kansas.
Each scholarship reflects the generosity and vision of local families, donors, and community partners who believe in education as a powerful tool for long-term community strength. Together, we are building brighter futures — one student at a time.

Create a Lasting Scholarship Legacy
Invest once. Support students forever.
Interested in establishing a scholarship that gives back year after year? Endowing a scholarship fund with the Sheridan County Community Foundation allows your generosity to provide perpetual support to students for generations to come.
​
An endowed scholarship works by investing the original gift, with a portion of the earnings awarded annually to students. This approach preserves the fund’s principal while creating a sustainable source of scholarship support — ensuring your charitable impact continues forever. (Download our "A Look at the Math" Scholarship Resource).
​
Whether honoring a loved one, supporting a specific field of study, or helping local students achieve their dreams, we can help design a scholarship fund that reflects your values and goals.
Simple. Secure. Fully Compliant.
