February 25, 2010 – College-bound high school students and their families can face challenges when searching for information on college scholarships. Athletic and academic scholarships offered by colleges and universities are easy to identify, but what about scholarships offered by local business, civic, and faith-based organizations? Where can Richmond-area families find a list of all the local scholarships for local students?
College Funding Group, a Richmond-based college funding company, has given students and parents an easy answer to that question. CFG has created a comprehensive database of scholarships provided by metro Richmond organizations to local students, and made it available online as the CFG ScholarBank™.
“We thought that it would be a great community service to share this information on our website,” says Jonathan West, President of College Funding Group. “Our mission at CFG is to help students and their parents navigate the college selection process and then paying the right price for that education by exploring all financial options, including scholarships. The ScholarBank™ is part of that mission.”
The ScholarBank™ provides easily-searchable listings with up-to-date information on the contributing organization, student eligibility criteria, scholarship amount, and application deadline. Active scholarships are linked directly to the contributor’s website, or have information on who to contact to apply.
