Inland Empire Community Foundation Opens 2023 Scholarship Program

The Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF) is now accepting applications for its 2023-24 scholarship period. Deadlines for the scholarship opportunities range from March 31 through April 15. In 2021, IECF awarded $3.2 million in scholarships and educational support.

This year, IECF has more than 30 scholarship opportunities available through the Foundation’s new Common Scholarship Application process, with awards ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.

“It’s an easy process that will allow our students to be eligible for more than one opportunity,” Youth Initiatives Manager, Denisha Shackleford said. “We have some amazing donors in our two-county region that want to see our students thrive, succeed and come back to work in our region.”

Scholarships are available for:

• Graduating high school seniors
• Current college students (undergraduate or graduate)
• Adult re-entry students
• Students with financial needs (includes middle-income families)
• Students attending four-year universities, community colleges or career/technical schools
