Greenspring Hands Out $310,000 in Scholarships to 31 FCPS Seniors

Thirty-one Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) seniors have been selected to receive $10,000 scholarships from Greenspring, a retirement community in Springfield. 

The scholarships come from Greenspring’s Scholars Fund; residents, resident clubs, and staff members at Greenspring donate money to the Scholars Fund.

Scholarships will go to high school students who have worked in dining services at the retirement community to fund the students’ education at the college or professional school of their choice.  

Students must have worked at least 1,000 hours at the community during their junior and senior years of high school, received satisfactory grades, and maintained a disciplinary record free of adverse actions at their high school.  Eligible students must be planning to attend college or a professional school full time in the fall of 2014.
