Carland Foundation
Welcome to the Carland Foundation for Learning. We were established in May, 2008, for the purposes of supporting meritorious and needy students pursuing higher degrees. We are a qualified charity, having satisfied the Internal Revenue Service requirements for 501c(3) status as a charitable institution. To that end, we seek contributions from interested individuals and/or grants from educational support foundations; we seek applications for educational aid from students or prospective students at eligible educational institutions as defined in appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code; and, we make grants, fellowships or scholarships available to individuals selected from among our applicants based on need and/or merit.
In navigation tabs above, please find a page to support giving, and a page to support scholarship application. If you have questions or need further information, please feel free to contact us.
