March 27, 2008 — Through the generosity of Windward Capital LLC, the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands invites public and private school students in the 10th and 11th grades to apply for the Windward Capital 2008 Summer Enrichment Scholarship.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Windward Capital Fund at CFVI will award scholarships to students seeking to attend academically rigorous summer enrichment programs at stateside institutions of higher learning. Since introducing the Summer Enrichment Scholarships in 2004, more than $50,000 in scholarships has been awarded to high school students in the Territory. This scholarship is funded solely by Windward Capital LLC, a financial services firm located in the Grand Hotel on St. Thomas.
The Windward Capital Fund was established to enhance the educational experiences of children and youth in the USVI. This is one of over 90 funds that have been established through the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands to serve the children and families of the Virgin Islands.
To qualify for a Windward Capital Summer Enrichment Scholarship, a student must:
• Be a 10th or 11th grader in a public or private high school in St. Thomas, St. John or St. Croix.
• Be accepted in/or have applied to a summer enrichment program.
• Have an average cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
• Demonstrate financial need.
Applications are available at the office of Community Foundation of the Virgin Island, #30 Dronningens Gade, Suite 2C, Royal Dane Mall, on the Foundation’s website, www.cfvi.net, or by calling 774-6031.
Priority is given to applicants who demonstrate extraordinary academic, as well as community service oriented accomplishments. Quality of the enrichment program will also be an important consideration. The Community Foundation wants to emphasize that these summer scholarships are available for a wide range of enrichment programs, including but not limited to music, the arts, entrepreneurship and community leadership.
Applications must be submitted to CFVI no later than April 30, 2008, but applicants are encouraged to submit their materials as soon as possible. Applications will be considered as they are received. For more information call the Community Foundation at 774-6031.
