Your future is bright, and we can’t wait to see where your dreams take you! At Community South, we’re here to support your academic goals by giving you the money you need to succeed.

‍

We believe education opens doors not just for individuals, but for families and communities as a whole. Our scholarship is about more than grades alone. We want to learn who you are, what matters to you, how you’ve contributed to your community, and where you hope to go next.

We will award six $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors by May 1, 2026. Scholarship funds will be paid directly to your school upon proof of registration and must be used within 12 months of the award date*.
