Students

Our scholarship funds provide financial assistance to students working to reach their fullest potential through education and training. 

The FM Area Foundation manages more than 60 scholarship funds. Generous individuals, families, and businesses created these funds to provide financial assistance for students pursuing higher education and training. For the 2021-2022 academic year, we awarded $334,825 to deserving students!

Some scholarships you’ll find below are awarded to students from specific high schools, while others are awarded to students going into specific areas of study, such as nursing or engineering. Each scholarship has its own set of eligibility requirements. Please search the list below to see if you are eligible for a scholarship.

Applications for the 2023-2024 academic year are now open. Apply today!
