2013 Scholarship Awards

Josephine School Community Museum

Free and Open to the Public

The Josephine School Community Museum is proud to present its ninth annual scholarship awards to 2013 African-American graduates of Clarke County High School. Scholarships will be provided to all African-American graduates of the Clarke County High School, Class of 2013, who have been accepted to an accredited four-year college/university. The scholarship will be paid directly to the recipient’s college/university.

Last year, we were able to provide one new recipient $1,000 for his initial semester. In addition, using funds that were carried over from previous years, $500 was provided to seven former recipients who remain enrolled in college. This means that a total of $4500 in scholarships was awarded last year. We want to be as generous this year with scholarships as we have in the past.

If you would like to make a contribution to the Scholarship Fund. Please mail your check, made payable to the Josephine School Community Museum, to Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 423, Berryville, VA 22611.
