Who Can Apply
Custer County Educational Foundation believes that any sincere and determined person should have the opportunity to continue his or her education after graduation from high school. Scholarships can be for an accredited two-year or four-year program, or for vocational and technical colleges. Current CCDHS seniors may apply.
If you are a high school senior and not sure about your immediate future plans – you should apply.
If you know you are going into the military, going on a mission, or taking the year off – you should apply.
Our scholarship can be held up to 18 months after your high school graduation. Present your scholarship award letter along with your proof of enrollment to receive your scholarship check.

The Process
By completing an application form, students become eligible for any award administered by the foundation. Applications are scored by an Awards Committee. Students receive points for qualities such as strong character attributes, work experience, school and community activities and service and academic record. Those earning a 2.0 GPA or greater are eligible. In this way, the selection process is objective and nondiscriminatory, making scholarships available to a wide range of deserving students.
