Hello all,

Our community foundation just transitioned to CommunitySuite (financial part). We will be transitioning to SLM in June. Our Lilly Endowment Scholarship application opens August 1st. For those outside of Indiana- It is a scholarship application for high school seniors from our county; every CF in Indiana participates in this statewide program.

This is a very short turnaround time. Would anyone be willing to share your current High School Senior Scholarship (or Lilly if your are Indiana) application with us to help ease our transition? I am under the impression that we can mirror our application after another one for an "easy build".

Our current application is pretty standard:

Demographics, academics, extra-curriculars, volunteer hours, employment, camps/special events, financial, and essay.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Jodi Kateiva

    Very good! I was surprised no one had offered one up, so I'm glad you have some samples.

    Have a great day!
