Journey Scholarship Fund

Central College is committed to opening doors of opportunity by making a Central education as affordable as possible. Our goal is to award each Central student a donor-funded $1,000 Journey Scholarship to help them find the finest opportunities, conduct research, connect with mentors, explore the world and discover their passions.

Annual scholarship support is more important than ever. Your gift to the Journey Scholarship Fund is an investment that attracts strong students, lowers costs for families and keeps Central in a position of financial strength.

At other colleges, the annual fund supports things like lightbulbs and supplies. At Central, your gift to the Journey Scholarship Fund directly supports students — meaning 100% of your gift makes an immediate impact on lives. 

With your support, we can build upon the foundation of the Journey Scholarship Fund. Gifts made by the end of our fiscal year, June 30, will be applied to Central’s fiscal year report and acknowledgement.

Join your fellow Central alumni and friends by making a gift today on our website or calling 641-628-5154.
