The Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri, Inc. is excited to announce that Scholar-Link, its centralized online scholarship application, is officially open for the 2026 season.
Starting January 15, the platform began accepting applications from graduating high school seniors and current college students seeking financial aid for the upcoming academic year.
These scholarship opportunities are versatile, supporting students planning to attend two-year or four-year colleges and universities, as well as those enrolling in vocational and technical schools. Currently, the Community Foundation administers 92 distinct scholarship funds specifically designated for students across 18 counties in Northwest Missouri and beyond.
To begin the application process, interested students should visit cfnwmo.org and click on the Scholar-Link logo. It was noted that students complete all requirements early, as the final deadline for submission is March 2, 2026.
For more information or assistance, students can consult their high school counselor. Additionally, the Foundation office is available to answer questions by calling 816-232-2022 or through email at info@cfnwmo.org.
