The Wabash Valley Community Foundation is pleased to recognize and acknowledge the following graduates who have received a Community Foundation scholarship. These scholarship awards are made possible through the generous support of local individuals who believe in the importance of post-secondary education as an investment in the future of our community and its next generation.
