With college costs rising across the country over the last decade and the increasing debt load students are taking on, the Door County Community Foundation is continuing its quest to make post-secondary education affordable. Not only has the foundation attracted more donors to add to its Door County Scholarship Network, it has simplified the process by developing the common scholarship application. This allows students to fill out one form before applying to dozens of different scholarships. Door County Community Foundation President and CEO Bret Bicoy says they have received more applications as a result.

Over 70 scholarships are currently available through the Door County Scholarship Network, but Bicoy tells students to check frequently as more are uploaded on a regular basis.
