The Prairie Trail Scholarship Fund is a unique opportunity to benefit students and schools in Ankeny. The purpose of the Prairie Trail Scholarship fund is to provide scholarships to students pursuing a college degree and to support mini-grants to educators teaching in Ankeny schools. The fund, established through the generosity of Dennis & Susan Albaugh, demonstrates the family’s commitment to education and to the community of Ankeny.

Scholarship applicants will be eligible for a maximum lifetime award of $10,000. Preference will be given to students who reside in the Prairie Trail Development, as well as to those students who choose an institution based in Iowa. Additionally, mini-grants for academic performance will be available for educators teaching in an Ankeny school. Mini-grants will be a maximum of $2,500 per award.

Funding for the scholarship program is generated by a 1/2 of 1% fee on the transfer of all real property within Prairie Trail. The Albaugh Family has committed $100,000 as the initial deposit into the fund. As real estate begins to transfer in this area, the fund will become self-sustainable.

The scholarship fund is yet another way that the Prairie Trail Development will redefine community living.
