Foundation for Roanoke Valley has awarded more than 4,000 in educational scholarships during its second annual scholarship reception at Jefferson Center’s Fitzpatrick Hall.
The Foundation administers 49 endowed scholarship funds and received more than 500 applications for scholarships ranging from $500 to $10,000. Recipients were selected on a competitive basis using criteria established by donors at the creation of the scholarship endowment.
The Foundation also awarded the Holland Scholar Award, a minimum award of $10,000 that will be given annually to an outstanding graduating senior from the Roanoke Valley who shows exceptional promise in his or her future college career.
Logan B. Martin, a 2010 Community High School graduate, is this year’s recipient. Martin will be attending The College of William & Mary in the fall.
