The scholarship process

The Foundation is honored to administer scholarship funds that honor family or friends, memorialize loved ones, or ensure donor values are passed from one generation to the next. Each fund has different eligibility requirements. Many are for the benefit of students graduating from certain high schools; others to students pursuing particular fields of study, or attending a specific university; and a few are for the benefit of currently enrolled college students.

CFOV scholarships cover a wide geographic range and seek to support students representing a variety of backgrounds. Counties served by CFOV include: Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Tyler and Wetzel in West Virginia and Jefferson and Belmont in Ohio. Some opportunities extend beyond that service area.

A Note about our process

Our online application platform includes many, but not all, of the scholarships in the CFOV portfolio. Those not housed in the online platform will still utilize a paper application or other format. The method of application will be indicated on the scholarship overview, with applications available for download.

Graduating high school seniors will complete a universal application.
The responses offered in the universal application will be matched to opportunities for which the applicant qualifies. Applicants can then choose to complete and submit the opportunity-specific applications by following the instructions. The opportunity-specific applications feature the unique names of the scholarships. In short, applicants will complete a larger generic application and then will “fine-tune” specific submissions that have unique names by providing the information requested.

Opportunities for currently enrolled college students are housed in the online platform as a standalone process. These are listed by name.
