Scholarships
Our 2027 Scholarship Program will award over $400,000 this year!
Our scholarships support students of all ages (high school seniors, current college students, and adults returning to school) residing in Staunton, Waynesboro, and the counties of Augusta, Highland, and Nelson.
Only one application is required to be considered for the majority of Community Foundation scholarships. If you wish to discuss your scholarship eligibility or if you have any questions, please contact Miriam Burrows at mburrows@cfcbr.org or call 540-213-2150.
We remain extremely grateful to the generous community members who make this work possible! If you are interested in establishing a scholarship fund, we would love to explore those options with you. Please contact Menieka Garber at info@cfcbr.org or 540-213-2150.
