In the past decade, Arlington Community Foundation has awarded more than $6 million to Arlington students attending college.

Generous individuals, families, companies, and organizations fund the scholarships, which have their own unique eligibility criteria. We offer approximately 100 college scholarships each year, with many differing criteria for eligibility, but only one application is required to be considered for all the available scholarships.
