Scholarships

In 2025, we awarded over $300,000 through our Scholarship Program.

Our scholarships support students of all ages residing in Staunton, Waynesboro, and the counties of Augusta, Highland, and Nelson. We remain extremely grateful to the generous community members who make this work possible!

Only one application is required to be considered for the majority of Community Foundation scholarships.  If you would like to discuss your scholarship eligibility privately or in more detail, please contact Miriam Burrows at mburrows@cfcbr.org or call 540-213-2150. 

Our scholarships support students of all ages residing in Staunton, Waynesboro, and the counties of Augusta, Highland, and Nelson.
