ABD SCHOLARSHIP FUND PROGRAM

The Board of Directors of the Association of Blauvelt Descendants established a scholarship program to promote the intellectual development of our members, their families and the community as a whole through financial support. The ABD is proud to be able to offer this assistance in order to help fulfill students’ dreams and aspirations. The five fund awards are available each year and will be given as a result of interest earned from bequests and monies donated to this fund in the future. The Scholastic Awards include:

The Raymond & Carolyn Blauvelt Scholarship Award ($1,000.00 US)

The Starr & Dorothy Schofield Blauvelt Scholarship Award ($1,000.00 US)

The Association of Blauvelt Descendants Scholarship Award ($500.00 US)

The scholarships are available for high school students applying to college, enrolled students in undergraduate or graduate degree programs, and for those in a continuing education program. Information outlining all details and a scholarship application for the 2007-2008 will be in the Fall and Spring Issues of the Blauvelt News, as well as available upon request (please contact the Chairperson below). The Deadline for the 2007-2008 academic year is April 2, 2007. All applications must be postmarked by this date.

We are pleased to announce the Winners for the 2006-2007 academic year:
