PVAC Fund Named Scholarship Program

Since its founding, the PVAC Fund has provided more than $300,000 in scholarships to exceptional Montgomery County High School graduates with financial need. In 2008, the PVAC Fund, Inc. established the Named Scholarship Program.
 

The Named Scholarship Program allows Donors (individuals, families, organizations, etc.) to establish a Named Scholarship to honor, commemorate or pay tribute to individuals, groups, or events. Named scholarships demonstrate the breadth of support within the community for providing educational opportunity, especially for high achieving African Americans, and honor the tradition of
“giving back” to continue our community’s upward mobility.


Please join us in helping to secure the future of our youth in Montgomery County. Membership in this special class of Donors requires a minimum donation of $5,000. Donors will make On-Air Donations and there will be a Special Tribute during the TV Broadcast to Honor the Named Scholarship Honorees. 


PVAC Fund’s Named Scholarship funds are pooled and each year the PVAC Fund, Inc. Board in consultation with Named Scholarship Donors selects a student to receive the annual Named Scholarship. Parade of Scholarships Named Scholarship solicited by our Community Partners will be administered by the Community Partner under the organization’s Scholarship Program.


For additional information regarding the Named Scholarship Program, please email requests to the PVAC Fund, Inc. at pvacfundinc@gmail.com.
