Frequently Asked Scholarship Questions:

1) How do I apply for an Eastview Community Foundation (EVCF) scholarship?

This document explains in detail how to apply and which scholarships are available. This list is just an example and is not necessarily what will be offered for the Class of 2011.

2) Do I need to fill out an EVCF application for each EVCF scholarship I’m interested in?

No, you only need to complete one general EVCF/Lightning application. You will be considered for all EVCF scholarships for which you are eligible. You may need to write a separate essay for each scholarship that you are interested in.
