The Community Foundation of Howard County, which raises, manages and distributes funds to support Howard County nonprofits, awarded 56 Howard County students with 61 scholarships totaling $68,110. The awards come after a thorough review of applications and scholarship committee recommendations.

“These scholarships are another example of the many donors in our caring community and the value they place on education,” said Dee Athey, director of grants and community engagement for the Community Foundation of Howard County. “In an extraordinary time, this tradition of giving is especially meaningful, given the challenges and the sacrifices so many of the graduating seniors will make this year. Although they may not have a graduation ceremony, they can know the community continues to support and reward their hard work.”
