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.
Scholarships are listed by geography – select the appropriate region in the left menu options (Ohio, WV or WV and Ohio). A listing of scholarship opportunities will offer a criteria overview and general instructions about how to apply. Be sure to check each region for a complete sense of what’s available. You can (and should) explore these opportunities now!
New for 2022!
The 2022 scholarship cycle will be the first for a new online platform and will include 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.
First-time applicants 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.
Students who have multi-year scholarships or have the opportunity to seek renewal will access a renewal process that is housed within the online platform.

Third Party Tutorial
