Grand Rapids Community Foundation is so proud to award hundreds of scholarships annually to Kent County students, being that they noticed that many people who could benefit from high education are not able to afford it.
It has been awarding scholarships since its foundation in 1945 and it awards more than $1 million every year.
Full Description
