Scholarships

The Vail Valley Foundation has long been a leader in providing scholarship support to exemplary Eagle County students, with over $968,000 awarded through 2007. The Scholarship Committee reviews applications each spring and selections are made based on a rigorous review process, which includes:

• Grades and test scores
• Extracurricular activities and leadership
• Community involvement
• Financial need
• A personal interview conducted by VVF board members and local civic leaders
• Essay
• Letters of recommendation

Scholarships are presented at the recipient’s senior awards night and funds are distributed directly to the applicant’s college of choice.
