The Lexington Community Foundation and the Lexington Public School transitioned to an online application process through Blackbaud Award Management. Students must create an account on Blackbaud Award Management (no paper applications will be accepted). The instructions for submitting an application are below. 

1. Create an account using your permanent email. Using your educational email is not recommended.

2. Complete all information pertaining to your current student status in the General Application.

               - You must have an answer with those items with an asterisk (*).

3. Submit two letters of recommendation. Enter information for two references from outside the school who are not relatives of the family. Please read the scholarship description as specifics to this requirement can be found there.

There is no upload for a resume. Instead, list up to six highlights in the areas marked:  

              - Activity/organization/membership

              - Volunteerism/community service

              - Awards

4. Submit your application. Once the application is completed the system will automatically match you to the scholarship opportunities for which you are eligible.
