Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Assist students with higher education. A committee of current and past financial aid champions, fairfax county school board members and donors are invited to review scholarship applications on a saturday in may. A rubric has been created to score various elements of the application. Reviewers are asked not to score any applicant where there may be a conflict of interest and sign a statement attesting to that requirement.an additional endowed scholarship was added this year- the lorene and lloyd rutledge scholarship. This is a $2000 a year scholarship, renewable for a second year, for a student at west potomac high school. Two last dollar scholarships were funded at the previous year's level ($1,000), and five other named scholarships were offered this year with the scholarship reading of the more than 65 applications in may 1. Outlook: next year will probably see the continuation of all of these scholarships, plus an additional endowed scholarship in the name of leslie kent. For the 2012-2013 year, we will add 4 $1,500 last dollar scholarships and perhaps two $5,000 scholarships, which will be renewable for 3 more years. And caf continues to be the funding agent for the bailey's literacy scholarships, which awarded $200 book scholarships for students who completed mentoring activities at bailey's elementary school. These scholarships are funded by capital one and the bailey's elementary school pta. Caf also provides 4 $100 and 2 $250 book scholarships, awarded as a drawing, as incentives for student attendance at workshops and seminars. We anticipate awarding 4 to 6 book scholarships in 2012-13. Outlook: this opportunity will be continued next year.
