DONORS
Our donors are why we are able to do what we do to serve Madison County. From one-time donations to lifetime endowments, the resources donated benefit non profits, students, and community works right here in Madison County.
Madison County's Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship shall be awarded to two students, who will be provided eight semesters of full tuition, required fees, and a special allocation of $900 per year for required books and required equipment for four years of undergraduate study on a full time basis, leading to a baccalaureate degree at any Indiana public or private college or university accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
The Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship for Madison County is administered by the Madison County Community Foundation in close collaboration with the South Madison Community Foundation.
