The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, a not-for-profit organization that leads partnerships with donors, nonprofits, and community members to solve the region’s chronic and emerging civic and social issues, recently concluded its scholarship season.

This year, the organization awarded 117 scholarships, totaling more than $1.3 million, to recent Palm Beach County and Martin County high school graduates enrolling in college in 2024.
