LEWISBURG, W.Va. (WVDN) – The goal of the Greenbrier Valley Community Foundation Scholarship Program is to ensure all public, private, and homeschooled students in Greenbrier, Monroe, and Pocahontas counties have to opportunity to apply for as many scholarship opportunities as are available to them in our region.
In order to do this efficiently, the Greenbrier Valley Community Foundation (GVCF) manages an online scholarship application program available to any student in the three-county region. There are also a couple of awards available to students attending Summers County, Meadow Bridge, and Midland Trail high Schools. This master application hosts over 120 total scholarships in the region. In order to qualify for these awards, students must submit an application at gvfoundation.org/scholarships.
GVCF allows any scholarship in the Greenbrier Valley (Greenbrier, Monroe, and Pocahontas counties) to be added to the system, regardless of whether or not GVCF manages the funds for that scholarship. This is a service that most other community foundations do not provide, as most only give access to scholarships for which they manage the funding. For the benefit of our students, and the region as a whole, GVCF is proud to open the application to any scholarship that wants to utilize the system.
Applications are due by midnight, including letters of recommendation and necessary attachments, on March 15. On March 18, scholarship committees will begin the review process and determine awards.
On May 1, guidance counselors and high school seniors are notified of awards, and on May 15, the scholarship acceptance process opens for students. Students must accept their awards by June 30, and scholarship checks processed and sent to schools on Aug. 1.
If students have any questions, they should contact their guidance counselors or email the scholarship administrator on the GVCF website by clicking Help, then Contact Us, then Request Assistance from their application.
