CANTON, CT — The clock is ticking for students and nonprofits to apply for grants/scholarships courtesy of a prominent local benevolence fund.

The Canton Community Health Fund (CCHF) March 1 opened its annual scholarship and grant applications process.

CCHF encourages local students, other residents and nonprofit organizations, whose efforts contribute to the overall health, safety and well-being of the Canton community to apply.

Both the "DR. DITER’S LEGACY Scholarship" application, and the "COMMUNITY HEALTH, SAFETY & WELLNESS Grant" application are due by April 30.

Both applications are available online at www.cantoncommunityhealthfund.org.

Awards will be announced in May.

“For many decades, CCHF’s award recipients have used their talents and dedication to our community, to support and positively impact the lives of our neighbors, friends and families. As Canton’s residents and organizations move forward in the coming years, we will proudly continue to fund their endeavors with purpose, determination and promise,” said CCHF Chairperson Sylvia Cancela.

Each year, CCHF awards scholarships and grants, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 per applicant.

In 2022, when the Canton community was still feeling the repercussions of the Covid pandemic, CCHF funded scholastic and community grants worth nearly $50,000.
