More than 260 area students received about $700,000 in scholarships in the latest awards from the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut.

The Community Foundation supports more than 100 donor-established scholarship funds that grant single- and multi-year awards to area students to support higher education and close the opportunity gap for students in need.

“We are very fortunate that our donors share with us a resolve to remove the financial barriers for area students as they pursue their educational dreams and to create opportunities where few to none exist,” Maryam Elahi, president and CEO of the Community Foundation, said in a release.
