Grants are provided through numerous scholarship funds managed by the Foundation. Grants are available for public and private institutions at graduate and undergraduate levels as well as for private K-12 schools. Foundation For The Carolinas currently administers 108 scholarship programs. In 2008 the Foundation awarded more than $1.4 million in scholarships to 630 students. Scholarship funds are permanent endowments established by donors, usually in honor or memory of a loved one.

The scholarship renewal period for the 2009-2010 academic year is closed.

Applications for new scholarships for the 2009-2010 academic year are currently available on the pages within the scholarship listing. Resources/Links
