Since its inception, the Hallandale Community Council Scholarship Fund has recognized the achievements and potential of hundreds of Hallandale Beach resident graduates, awarding scholarships ranging from $100 to $5,000 and totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. Plaques are also presented to Honor Cord Graduates, many of whom do not require financial assistance. Students apply through their school Guidance Counselors, who provide the Scholarship Committee with information including cumulative averages, extracurricular activities, achievement records, aptitude and college entrance test results.

Students may choose any accredited college, university, community college, vocational or trade school, but must be accepted and enrolled before scholarship funds are disbursed. Recipients have attended institutions ranging from local community colleges and state and private universities across the country, including Harvard, to foreign universities such as Universidad de las Americas and Columbus International in Spain. Scholarships are generally awarded for the first year of advanced education, with supplemental financial assistance available to students who demonstrate strong academic potential and successfully continue their studies.
