Community Foundation Scholarship Recipients

The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area (CFHZ) seeks to ensure that our community thrives today, tomorrow, and forever by building our Community’s Endowment and providing donor services. One service we offer our donors is the facilitation of scholarship for local students.

CFHZ will award more than $975,000 in the 2019–2020 academic year for students to attend schools of higher education throughout the nation. Our scholarships are possible thanks to the generosity of many local individuals, families, and businesses who have invested in our community’s future through CFHZ by furthering the education of others.

To learn more about our program and how you can establish your own scholarship fund, contact Stacy Timmerman, Director of Scholarships, at [email protected] or (616) 994-8852.

The Holland/Zeeland Promise began in 2010 as a dream to allow our area’s young people to graduate college or technical school without crushing student debt. Since its inception, the Promise has been housed at the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area where it has received administrative support. CFHZ is proud to be a part of the Promise’s story and contribute toward its future growth with a $120,000 grant over four years.

Promise candidates are nominated by their high school or Careerline Tech Center guidance counselors or staff at Hope College’s Upward Bound, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland or Latin Americans United for Progress. Selection is based on a range of factors including high financial need, the motivation to achieve a college or technical degree and proven academic success. Most Promise recipients are the first in their families to go to college.
