Thank you to all applicants. The 2025 Scholarship application is now closed. Awards will be announced in May 2025.

While the Kenosha Community Foundation does not operate a general scholarship fund, we administer a diverse and growing number of funds that offer scholarship opportunities to local students at all stages of higher education.

All scholarship awards are made from specific funds with criteria established by their particular donor. We currently administer a wide variety of scholarship funds established by individuals, families, and organizations throughout Kenosha County. The scholarship award process is overseen by a committee of volunteers from Kenosha County.

The Foundation’s scholarship cycle begins each year in January when we open the application process and continues through June when our Board approves all scholarships. Application deadlines vary for each fund.

Funds that support Kenosha Community Foundation Scholarships include:

• • A. Allan and M. Jankus Scholarship Fund
  • Clay Davison Legacy Scholarship Fund
  • Colleen Deininger Aviation Scholarship Fund
  • Cropley Scholarship Fund
  • Doris Kreuscher Colombe Scholarship Fund
  • Fellman Family Fund Fund
  • Gina Madrigrano-Friebus Scholarship Fund
  • Hartley Family Youth Sailing Scholarship Fund
  • Hernandez Family Scholarship Fund
  • Howard J. Brown Scholarship Fund
  • Manny Mitka Scholarship Fund
  • Martha Hollowell Scholarship Fund
  • Mary D. Bradford High School Class of 1961 Scholarship Fund
  • Orgullo Hispano (Hispanic Pride) Scholarship Fund
  • Rizzo Family Memorial Scholarships Fund

congratulations to all 2024 scholarship recipients

In 2024, 50 scholarships have been awarded, totaling over $87,000. These awards would not be possible without the foresight of KCF donors, and their commitment to invest in the future of the Kenosha community.
