The Como Farm Scholarship Fund Grant

The Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region
The Community Foundation is a devoted advocate for the vitality and well-being of the Rappahannock River Region. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that manages and distributes charitable giving in the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George, and Caroline, and the City of Fredericksburg.
Scholarships
One of The Community Foundation’s strategies for preserving and growing the quality of life in our region is supporting higher education for area students. Generous individuals and families, companies and organizations establish endowed scholarship funds and the proceeds from these funds benefit deserving students. Donors work with foundation staff to determine appropriate criteria for each fund. The Community Foundation currently administers more than fifty scholarship funds.
The Como Farm Scholarship is a four-year award, which “follows” the winner through their college career, on the condition of adequate annual progress.
This scholarship fund was established in May 2010 by anonymous donors and named for their family home place in recognition of “four generations of love” for their community.

Eligibility

The family wishes to support the college or university education of one or more high school seniors from the City of Fredericksburg or the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania, Stafford or Westmoreland. In particular, the donors intend for their gift to support the further education of high school students who are prepared and committed to making significant contributions back to their community.  Youth living in foster homes are encouraged to apply.
