The Dayton Foundation has launched its 2025-2026 scholarship application process and is pleased to once again offer students access to ScholarshipCONNECTSM, an online scholarship search and college readiness resource. Students can access ScholarshipCONNECT by visiting www.daytonfoundation.org/scholarships.
ScholarshipCONNECT offers more than 300 scholarship opportunities through The Dayton Foundation and educational foundations that are part of the Foundation. The system uses a detailed questionnaire to match students, based upon their educational interests and background, to possible scholarship opportunities. Students and parents also can help plan and pay for college by accessing links to online FAFSA, financial aid, scholarship and loan resources.
In fiscal year 2023-2024, The Dayton Foundation and the DaytonMontgomery County Scholarship Program, a component fund of The Dayton Foundation since 2006, awarded $3.3 million in scholarships to help 1,418 students advance their educational goals.
The deadline to submit a completed ScholarshipCONNECT online application for the 2025-2026 school year is 4:00 p.m. on Friday, March 7, 2024. For more information or to learn more about the Foundation’s scholarship funds, visit ScholarshipCONNECT, or connect with The Dayton Foundation on Instagram, Facebook or X.
