Forest County Potawatomi Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Forest County Potawatomi Foundation
Since 1999, the Forest County Potawatomi Foundation has partnered with local communities to support self-improvement initiatives. The Foundation recognizes ongoing workforce and affordability challenges across Wisconsin and is committed to expanding access to education and training to build a more skilled, educated workforce.
To respond to that need, the Forest County Potawatomi Community and its Foundation have established a scholarship program open to Wisconsin residents who plan to attend accredited colleges and institutions in the state. Three distinct scholarships are available for the 2026–2027 academic year.
