CCH offers scholarships and grants once a year to help improve the quality of life within our communities. Over the last five years, CCH has given out more than $1 million. Last year alone, CCH awarded $90,000 in scholarships to students in the Midlands area and $200,000 in grants to nonprofits located around the Midlands. 18 students received $5,000 each to use toward their education. Seven nonprofit organizations received grants up to $25,000.
Scholarships are subject to a few requirements. Interested applicants must be residents of the Midlands, accepted or enrolled at a college or university (in-state or out-of-state) pursuant of a degree in social work, psychology, medicine, nursing or counseling.
Organizations interested in grants should be located in and support residents of Midlands counties. Grantees should be community partners whose mission supports either the physical and mental health needs of children, fostering character development and social opportunities for underprivileged children, building strong family structures and parental involvement, or supporting children’s education.
