The 2024 Scholarship Program is Now Open!

EVCF is awarding scholarships equaling close to $90,000 to seniors who live in the Eastview attendance area and will be graduating from Eastview High School in the Spring of 2024.  Graduates from SES, ALC and 196Online whose home school is Eastview High School are also eligible to apply.

Since 2000, the Eastview Community Foundation has awarded over $1,500,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors. Thanks to the generous support of our Eastview community members we were pleased to award more than $90k across 98 scholarships to well-deserving members of the Class of 2023.

EVCF Scholarship Program

The Eastview Community Foundation awards scholarships to graduating seniors of Eastview High School as well as those students who live within the Eastview boundaries and complete high school elsewhere – such as the School of Environmental Studies, Area Learning Center, and home education.

Donations and sponsorships are now being accepted for the EVCF 2024 scholarship program.

In the twenty-two years since EVCF’s inception, in partnership with our scholarship donors we have awarded almost $1.6 million in scholarship funds to graduating seniors in the Eastview attendance area. This continued generosity has helped us maintain a robust scholarship program, providing valuable financial assistance to thousands of graduating seniors. 

If you are interested in sponsoring a 2024 scholarship, please email Scholarships@EVCF.org for more information. 

 

There are a number of benefits in using EVCF to administer your scholarship:

  • EVCF is a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation separate from Eastview High School, providing your organization an opportunity to donate funds.
  • EVCF provides an anonymous selection process for your scholarship based on your evaluation criteria. 
  • EVCF partners with the EVHS Counseling Department to publicize the scholarship opportunities to students and families. 
  • As a community foundation, EVCF helps provide exposure for your organization within the community.
While the majority of the scholarships in the EVCF Scholarship Program are funded by individuals, families, associations and businesses in the Eastview community, EVCF also raises funds through events, memberships and donations to fund additional scholarships.

EVCF Scholarship Selection Process

EVCF utilizes the following governance practices to maintain program integrity:

  • Incomplete applications were not considered for scholarships.
  • Student names and identifying information are removed from the application and candidates are evaluated on merit alone.
  • Community volunteers read and score scholarship essays.
  • A volunteer selection committee evaluates and ranks applicants.
  • Parents and EVCF Board Members of current EVHS seniors are excluded from the volunteer committee to maintain objectivity.
  • The selection committee awards scholarships to the highest number of recipients possible with the goal being one scholarship per qualified applicant. Due to selection criteria and number of applicants some students may receive more than one scholarship.
  • All scholarship winners were vetted by the Eastview Guidance Office prior to award.
