The Douglas County Education Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2026 scholarship application deadline has been extended to: Friday, March 13, 2026 at 11:59 p.m.

This extension ensures all eligible seniors across our five DCSS high schools have the opportunity to apply.

Graduating seniors across all five Douglas County high schools are encouraged to apply. DCEF offers a variety of scholarships supporting students pursuing postsecondary education in fields such as education, health care, STEM, agriculture, media, theology, and more. Scholarship amounts and eligibility requirements vary by award.

Students may access the application portal, review available scholarships, and find answers to frequently asked questions by visiting the Available Scholarships page on the DCEF website.

Applications must be submitted through the official DCEF scholarship portal prior to the deadline.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this information with students, families, counselors, and staff. We appreciate your partnership in supporting Douglas County students as they take their next steps toward higher education.

For questions or technical support, students should visit the Douglas County Education Foundation website for additional information and assistance.

Kindest regards,
