The Community Foundation Serving Western Virginia is proud to announce the awarding of over $750,000 in scholarships for the 2025–2026 academic year, with more than $500,000 benefiting students from the Martinsville, Henry County, and Patrick County areas.
This year, the Foundation received over 5,500 scholarship applications, and 238 students were selected as recipients—138 of them from our local community.
“We are thrilled to help empower these bright students as they take their next steps in education,” said Foundation leadership. “These scholarships are a testament to the generosity of local donors and the promise of our youth.”
With assets totaling more than $120 million, the Foundation has served the Roanoke Valley since 1988 and the Martinsville-Henry County area since 2005. The Foundation manages hundreds of endowed funds and has invested over $70 million into the communities it serves since its inception with nearly $10 million of that specifically in educational scholarships.
