The Clinton County Community Foundation has awarded more than 60 scholarships to Clinton County students with an approximate value of $332,000, including the two Lilly Endowment Community Scholarships. The students were recognized at a Scholarship Reception held on June 10 at the Frankfort Golf and Community Club, Frankfort, Ind.

“Through the generous contributions of the donors, the achievements of the students have been acknowledged and rewarded with these scholarships,” said Bill Beard, Chairman of the Clinton County Community Foundation Board of Directors. “The pressure of paying for college can be a significant obstacle for many students.
