LA GRANGE – The Fayette Community Foundation (FCF) proudly hosted its third annual scholarship reception on May 21 at the Historic Casino Hall in La Grange. Celebrations! by Bistro 108 Events and Catering provided a beautiful spread of light bites for the reception where awarded students and their families were able to meet the FCF Board, scholarship donors, and fund representatives who made their scholarships possible.
The primary objective of the reception was to pay tribute to the remarkable achievements of 31 exceptional individuals who received scholarships administered by the FCF and its esteemed fundholders.
The combined efforts of these scholarship funds resulted in a remarkable total of $68,500 awarded this year, notably surpassing the total $49,500 of community-funded scholarships administered collectively from 2020 to 2022. These scholarships were awarded from six distinct scholarship funds, each contributing to the advancement of deserving students.
