COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Heritage Foundation announced Thursday the 10 local high school seniors selected as finalists for the 2025 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship in Bartholomew County.
Lilly Endowed Community Scholars are known for their community involvement, academic achievement, character, and leadership. Each Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship provides a special allotment of up to $900 per year for full tuition, required fees, and required books and equipment for four years.
