The Community Foundation announces more than $162,000 in scholarships to local high school graduates

Thanks to the generosity of local philanthropists who entrust their scholarship funds to The Community Foundation, each year renewed resources are available to support our community’s students. Today, the foundation manages 47 scholarship funds on behalf of generous individuals and families who want to strengthen the Rappahannock River region.

The Community Foundation is thankful for all the volunteers and donors who make this program possible. In order to ensure each scholarship is awarded to the most suitable candidate, the foundation convenes a panel of volunteer reviewers to evaluate scholarship applications based on criteria that match the donors’ intentions for the funds.
