EWVCF Scholarship Deadline February 28

Our scholarship application is available through an online platform, AwardSpring. The application for our 2024 scholarship program is now open. You may begin your application at https://ewvcf.awardspring.com/

The application deadline is 5 PM, February 28, 2024.

Because we are not requiring FAFSA this year you must provide the following information in the appropriate fields in the application. 

1. What is the estimated cost of attendance for one year (tuition, room/board, books/fees) for the school you are most likely to attend (most schools provide this information on their website)

2. Please describe your financial resources for college (scholarships, loans, 529 Savings plan, parent contribution, etc.).

3. Please tell us about your financial circumstances and your personal and family strategy for paying for college. Because we’re not requiring the FAFSA, this is your only opportunity to explain your need for a scholarship.

Questions can be directed to Karin Hammann Dunn:  [email protected]  or 304-671-8167.
