2026 Kalamazoo Community Foundation General Scholarship
Overview
The Kalamazoo Community Foundation (KZCF) recognizes that higher education is a powerful route to opportunity but can also be costly. To help make Kalamazoo County a more equitable place to live and learn, KZCF provides financial support to students pursuing further education.
KZCF administers more than 60 scholarships and grants for students in undergraduate, graduate, and career-training programs. A single online General Scholarship application makes it simple to be considered for multiple awards—complete one application to be matched with scholarships and education grants.

What you will be asked to provide
- Basic personal and educational information, and details about your community involvement.
