Established as a component of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s 75th anniversary in 2005, Legacy Scholarships were created with the intention of investing in the educational future of Battle Creek youth. The Legacy Scholars’ vision, “to strengthen our community through education generation by generation as a vibrant place to live, learn, prosper and grow,” laid the framework for the entire Legacy Scholars program.

The Legacy Scholars program supports students attending Battle Creek Public Schools, Lakeview School District and Calhoun Community High School by providing college and career opportunities as well as the Legacy Scholars Scholarship, a last-dollar scholarship to Kellogg Community College for up to two years of tuition, mandatory fees in addition to a book stipend.
