Crawford County has a short list so far: 3 local scholarships from 2 sponsors. A short local list is still worth a look, because only students from this area can apply. Most run through 2 community foundations, where one application often covers many funds. We keep searching and add new local scholarships as we find them, so this number grows.
One of the 3, picked for size and for a deadline you can plan around. The other 2, with every rule, deadline and what each one asks for, are on your student's board.
Each sponsor counted once, by kind. A community foundation often runs dozens of separate funds through one application, so it can be one sponsor with many scholarships.
| Who gives locally | Sponsors | Scholarships |
|---|---|---|
| Community foundations | 2 | 3 |
| All local sponsors | 2 | 3 |
Most of the posted deadlines fall in March. Counted from the 3 scholarships here with a posted date. Local applications often open only a few weeks before they close, so the time to get ready is the fall before.
That is fewer than the typical Michigan county, which has 13; it ranks tied for 78th of Michigan's 83 counties. On top of the local list, Michigan students can look at 32 state scholarships and grants limited to the state but not to one county, and the national ones. Across Michigan we have found 1,060 local scholarships in 83 counties. See every Michigan county.
All 8 counties that border Crawford County have local scholarships in our catalog too. Some sponsors cover several counties, and a student who lives in one county and goes to school in another can sometimes apply on both sides.
A public four-year college in Michigan averaged $14,718 in tuition and fees and $11,634 for a dorm and meals in 2022-23, about $26,352 a year before any aid, more than the national public average of $22,389. That is the newest federal figure published for every state, so today's prices run higher. The homepage works out what is left after Michigan's own state aid for your student's grades and scores, college by college.

The full list, with each one's rules and deadlines, is the product. We read each one from the sponsor's own page and recheck it on a schedule, and that work is what the $149 board pays for. The one above shows the list is real; the board shows which of the 3 your student fits.
No. Most local scholarships add their own rules on top of where you live: one high school, a GPA floor, a planned major, a parent who is a member or a customer. The board asks about those once and shows the ones your student fits, with what each one still asks you to check.
Counted from our catalog on November 2, 2026. We add new local scholarships every week, so the numbers here usually go up.
Counts, amounts and deadline months come from each sponsor's own published rules and can change without notice. Totals add one winner of each scholarship; sponsors that do not publish an amount are not counted in the dollar total. A deadline month is from the most recent cycle we could find. College prices are estimates to plan with, not a quote. Confirm anything you act on with the sponsor or the college.
