SCHOLARSHIPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2025
High School Application

High school seniors who attend a Darke County high school or are home-schooled in Darke County may apply for Darke County Foundation scholarships. (Pohl Transportation applicants see exception below.*) Applications are available Feb. 15, 2025, and due March 31, 2025.

​

Scholarships are available to students pursuing 4-year or 2-year degrees, or shorter vocational certificates.

​

One application allows you to be considered for all categories of scholarships. Awards are based on the following criteria (not necessarily in this order): grade point average, ACT score, activities, essay and financial need. Some awards do not require ACT score. Some awards are merit-based without regard to financial need.

​

Scholarship recipients will be notified in May 2025. Scholarship money will be disbursed following the student’s first grading period in college, providing the student earns at least a 2.75 grade point average in that period.
