At the Fannin County Scholarship Foundation, we believe every student deserves a fair shot at higher education. That’s why we provide one-time, first-year college scholarships to help graduating Fannin County High School seniors take that important first step toward their future.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the majority of students who apply receive some form of support. But the need is greater than ever—and we’re committed to doing even more to ensure that no deserving student in Fannin County is held back by financial barriers.
