Who is eligible

“Each applicant must be an educator in berkeley county or jefferson county, west virginia, with financial need. Funds may be awarded for tuition, fees, and books relating to the receipt of no more than 12 graduate credit hours in one fiscal year. Recipients must maintain a minimum grade of "c- or grade point equivalent in each course. The need to maintain certification as an education is given higher priority than the quest for a master's degree.”

Restrictions are quoted from the filing’s own words. A foundation’s mailing address doesn’t always decide who’s eligible — the restriction text above does.

How to apply

“Educators applying for the scholarship must complete a detailed application form which requires financial information to demonstrate financial need, current employment, educational training and degrees earned, reason(s) for applying, need for additional course work to maintain certification or to obtain a master's degree, any extenuating financial circumstances, courses to be taken and how such courses will benefit the educator, his or her students, and the local educational system, and plans for further education and educational employment.”

Where this information comes from

Every fact on this page is published from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF for the tax period ending 2025-04-30 (EIN 847104339). Part XV of that form is where a private foundation that accepts unsolicited applications must tell the IRS — and the public — who to send applications to, what to include, any deadlines, and any restrictions on awards. Most of these programs are never listed on scholarship search sites; the filing is often the only public record they exist.

Every listing on this site is compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Filings are annual, so details can change between filings: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
