Scholarship Criteria

One-year scholarships for students graduating from Black Hawk County high schools who will be attending an accredited college or university and who demonstrate the abilities to successfully complete the requirements of the institution chosen. Priority will be given to individuals with a GPA of 3.0 or higher, leadership potential, extra-curricular involvement, and high financial need.

Give to the Fund

Financial gifts to the Linda Klinger Memorial Cedar Valley Scholarship Fund with the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa allows the Community Foundation to award financial assistance to students pursuing higher education. As the cost of tuition continues to rise, it is more important now than ever to diminish the barrier of affordability and allow students to focus on what is most important - their education.
