2012 Education Foundation Scholarship Winners

The Roanoke County Public Schools Education Foundation held their annual scholarship awards presentation May 14 at Hidden Valley High School.  In all, the Foundation awarded 83 scholarships totaling $61,000. 

“These scholarships are being awarded to outstanding young men and women who are the best of the best in Roanoke County Public Schools,” said Foundation chairman Lenora Downing.  “The scholarship selection committee had a very difficult time selecting the winners from many outstanding applications,” Downing added.

“We would not be able to award these scholarships without the generous donations of our sponsors and individual donors,” said Downing.  “We very much appreciate all their support,” Downing added.

Since its inception in 1991 the Roanoke County Public Schools Education Foundation has awarded more than $1.25 million in scholarships to students and classroom teachers.  Much of the funding for these scholarships comes from individual and corporate donations.  To learn more about the Education Foundation, please see their Web site at http://www.supportroanokecountyed.org.
