Last year the annual scholarship program awarded more than $332,500 in college scholarships to 122 recent high school graduates and current college students to support their higher education goals. Each scholarship has different selection criteria, allowing opportunities for a diverse range of students.
“All interested students are encouraged to apply,” said Eileen Ellsworth, president and CEO, the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia. “We all know the challenges of paying for college.
