Scholarships for Everyone!
Thanks to our donors, each year the OCCF distributes about 70 scholarships worth over $127,000 to deserving students who call Owen County home. Our scholarships support students who are pursuing degrees from colleges and universities, as well as those obtaining career and technical education at a community college. Continuing education scholarships for adults returning to school are also available.

for the 2024-25 scholarship application.
The OCCF Scholarship portal is where you can manage all your account information and update applications. If you need help with applications or have general questions about the portal or process please contact us by calling (812) 829-1725 or email maria@owencountycf.org.
Postsecondary Scholarships
The postsecondary scholarships reward students who are continuing their education after high school or by welcoming students back to college or vocational school after some time away from academics. These scholarships also represent individual donor plans that range from an award for women returning to college to adults working their way through college.
Postsecondary scholarship applications are currently not being accepted. Check back in late 2024 for the 2024-25 scholarship application for postsecondary students.
