Celebrate Scholars

Thanks to the generosity of our fundholders, the Community Foundation of Louisville awards millions in competitive scholarships every year to students across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. We believe that scholarships empower students along their educational journeys to make a better life for themselves and their families.

Celebrate our scholarship recipients below and read their incredible stories of resiliency, determination, and success.
