CFGL gives students a leg up on paying for college

A select group of Purdue and area high school students are getting money to further their college education.

Forty-eight individuals received scholarships from the Community Foundation of Greater Lafayette.

They accepted the financial awards during a ceremony, Tuesday.

The Community Foundation gave out nearly $73,000 in scholarships.

The non-profit also awarded three scholarships that cover the full cost of eight semesters and a $900 book stipend.

All three of those went to students who plan on attending Purdue.
