Harrison County Community Foundation Adult Scholarship
Offered by Harrison County Community Foundation
About This Scholarship
The Harrison County Community Foundation in Corydon, Indiana — one of the state's wealthiest county foundations thanks to riverboat casino revenue — awarded $823,175 in scholarships to graduating seniors in 2025 alone, alongside a dedicated Adult Scholarship program that made 13 awards totaling $41,500. Its Adult Scholarship Application Cycle 3 is open right now: it opened August 1, 2026 and closes October 31, 2026 at 4 p.m.
The adult program serves Harrison County residents who are past traditional high school age and pursuing degrees or credentials, with financial need demonstrated through the FAFSA, 21st Century Scholars enrollment, or Free/Reduced Lunch participation. The Miles' Fund runs on the same fall window.
The foundation's flagship senior programs — including Building Our Future Scholarships worth $2,500 a year renewable for four years — open on their own cycle later in the school year, so adult learners are the audience for this dated fall window.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a high school senior — is this cycle for me?
No. This dated fall window is the foundation's Adult Scholarship Cycle 3 (and Miles' Fund). The senior programs, including the renewable $2,500/year Building Our Future Scholarships, run on a separate cycle announced later in the school year.
