The Community Foundation Serving Western Virginia has awarded more than $750,000 in scholarships, with more than $500,000 benefitting students from the city of Martinsville and the counties of Henry and Patrick.
These are the recipients of this year’s annual scholarship program hosted at Patrick & Henry Community College’s Stone Hall Gymnasium on May 20.
This year, the Foundation received over 5,500 scholarship applications, and 238 students were selected as recipients — 138 of them from the local community.
“We are thrilled to help empower these bright students as they take their next steps in education,” a Foundation release stated. “These scholarships are a testament to the generosity of local donors and the promise of our youth.”
With assets totaling more than $120 million, the Foundation has served the Roanoke Valley since 1988 and the Martinsville and Henry County area since 2005. The Foundation manages hundreds of endowed funds and has invested over $70 million into the communities it serves since its inception with nearly $10 million of that specifically in educational scholarships, the release stated.
