The 91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æ Educational Foundation invites students to apply for general scholarships at 91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æ. Sessions in March and April are designed to help students with that process.

“We currently offer more than 130 scholarships to a wide range of students — full and part time, traditional and adult learners — and in most programs of study,” said Annie Fentress, Scholarship and Community College Access Program Coordinator. “Award amounts vary from $500 to more than $3,000, while most scholarships are need-based and not tied to academic merit.”
The scholarship application period opens March 1 and closes May 1. Throughout March and April, 91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æ staff will be available to help navigate the scholarship application process and answer questions about funding, eligibility and availability.
These events are open to all students planning to attend 91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æ in fall 2026, and they are free to attend with no registration required. Sessions will take place on 91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æ’s campus at Webber Hall Room 311, 3098 Colonial Ave. SW, Roanoke, VA 24015.
The sessions are being held:
March 3, 2-4 p.m.; March 6, 9-11 a.m.; March 11, 10 a.m.-12 p.m.; March 12, 2-4 p.m.; March 23, 3-5 p.m.; March 24, 2-4 p.m.
