Canton-Galva High School Scholarship – 2026
For students preparing to take the next step in their education, scholarship opportunities through the McPherson County Community Foundation (MCCF) are once again available. Applications for the 2026-27 scholarship season will open Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, providing graduating high school seniors and adult learners throughout McPherson County with opportunities to receive financial assistance as they pursue their educational goals.
Scholarship applications will be accepted through Feb. 15, 2027. Opportunities are available for students pursuing a variety of educational paths, including traditional college degrees, trade programs and technical education.
Students can access the application portal through the Foundation’s website. Rather than completing separate applications for every scholarship, students begin with one general application. The system evaluates their information against the eligibility requirements of each scholarship and identifies the opportunities for which they qualify. Requirements may include graduation from a particular high school, minimum GPA, intended career field and other criteria.
While eligibility requirements vary by scholarship, students are encouraged to apply for every scholarship for which they are eligible. Although students may qualify for and apply to multiple opportunities, MCCF’s policy is to award each student only one scholarship: the highest-value scholarship they receive.
During the previous scholarship season, more than $50,000 in financial assistance was awarded to students through 33 scholarship funds.
“We see scholarships as an equalizing gift to the youth from our community,” said Michelle Huddle, MCCF CEO. “This gift gives our youth a chance to develop their skills. While some may not return to the community, the ones who do will be a part of the investment made into McPherson County.”
MCCF staff will continue visiting McPherson County high schools to share information about available scholarships and the application process with graduating seniors. Students and adult learners with questions about scholarship opportunities or applications can contact MCCF Program Associate Jessi Boughfman at Jessi@McPhersonFoundation.org.
Students attending Inman High School who are interested in Inman-specific scholarship opportunities should contact their high school counselor.
