New Scholarship Program

CVCSF Unveils New Scholarship Program

At its annual board meeting in early December, the ConVal Community Scholarship Foundation (CVCSF) Dollars for Scholars® unveiled a new scholarship program. Beginning this school year—the CVCSF’s fifth year of giving—a dozen scholars each will be given up to $250 to help defray their costs of post-secondary education applications and related expenses. In the past, the $250 was the minimal scholarship award by the CVCSF to be used for future college tuitions. According to the CVCSF’s newly elected President William Kennedy, “CVCSF and ConVal High’s Student Assistance Team recognition during the student’s senior year gives them that extra boost to aim higher in life and think seriously about their future education. This up-front financial support highlights our commitment to them and their goals.” The fund will be dispensed through a special account administered by CVCSF’s Awards and Mentoring Program Manager and ConVal High Guidance Counselor, JoAnn Fletcher.

The CVCSF is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all-volunteer chapter of Dollars for Scholars® supported by tax-deductible donations that awards financial help and future hope to Contoocook Valley High School grads as they pursue post-secondary education in the face of extraordinary challenges.
