Questa Education Foundation announces the launch of its new Questa Compass Fund Finder, a core tool within the Questa Compass ecosystem designed to help Northeast Indiana students of all ages discover financial aid resources and opportunities to support their education at every level.
Formerly named the Scholarship Search Tool, the enhanced Questa Compass Fund Finder provides a centralized, user-friendly experience that connects students, adult learners, and families with scholarships, grants, and other funding opportunities aligned to their goals. By simplifying the search process, the tool helps learners access postsecondary education, workforce credentials, and training programs, reducing financial barriers and supporting long-term success.
“We are committed to helping learners overcome financial barriers and achieve their education goals,” said Dr. Elizabeth Bushnell, president and CEO of Questa Education Foundation. “With the enhanced Questa Compass Fund Finder, students can easily identify trustworthy resources that make education attainable and affordable, no matter their age or pathway.”
The launch of the Questa Compass Fund Finder was made possible through the generous support of the Don Wood Foundation, Northern Indiana Public Service Company LLC (NIPSCO), and the NiSource Charitable Foundation, whose investments advance equitable access to education across the region.
“We are grateful to the Don Wood Foundation, NIPSCO, and the NiSource Charitable Foundation for their partnership and shared belief in the power of education,” Bushnell added.
“Access to clear, reliable information is often the difference between aspiration and opportunity,” said Laura Macknick, president & CEO of the Don Wood Foundation. “The Questa Compass Fund Finder helps remove confusion and barriers that prevent students and adult learners from pursuing education and training. We are proud to support a tool that empowers Northeast Indiana residents with the knowledge and resources they need to move forward with confidence.”
“At NIPSCO, we believe a strong region depends on a skilled, educated workforce,” said Dana Berkes, manager of public affairs at NIPSCO. “By supporting the Questa Compass Fund Finder, we’re investing in a practical solution that helps learners find the financial resources they need to advance their education, strengthen their career pathways, and contribute to the long-term vitality of our communities.”
Questa also extends its appreciation to BT Pro Solutions, its technology partner on this project, for their expertise and collaboration in bringing the enhanced Fund Finder to fruition.
