CSBG Scholarship
The Community Service Block Grant Scholarship is designed to help low-income
DeKalb County residents pay for post-secondary educational expenses. Applications
are available beginning late January/early February and are due mid-June for the
following fall and spring semesters.
The basic qualifications to be eligible* for a CSBG Scholarship are:
