Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga Scholarships

Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga · Regional

The Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga (CFGC) runs a single online scholarship portal that matches Chattanooga-area students to whichever of its donor-established funds they qualify for, instead of a separate application per fund. Awards range from one-time gifts of $500 to renewable awards worth up to $1,000 a year for as long as eight semesters, and GPA minimums vary by fund from around 2.0 up to 3.0 or higher. Most funds are open to Chattanooga-area students broadly, though a handful are limited to specific Hamilton County schools.
