The Virginia Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (VIAAA) awards one annual scholarship in the amount of $1,500 dollars to a deserving high school student who will be graduating from a Virginia High School League member school or Independent School in honor of all of the VIAAA Past Presidents. The athletic director of the member school must be a member of the Virginia Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association in order for the member school’s student to qualify for the scholarship.

Each school is limited to one nominee.

The requirements for this application must include the following:

The Scholarship is in honor of Dr. George H. Moody.

The criteria reviewed includes financial need, academic achievement, extracurricular and community service, the student’s essay and recommendations.  One hundred percent of the funds utilized to award these scholarships come from the Henrico County Community. Donations are made from Henrico County PTA local units.  School guidance counselors may have earlier deadlines in order to choose applicants from their particular school.

One thing we discovered when looking at scholarships available to Richmond-area students was that there was no “one” source of regional scholarships. So we decided to take a crack at it. And thus, the CFG ScholarBank was born. We are continually tracking down scholarships available to Central Virginia college-bound students and gathering them all into our searchable collection.
Ready to start searching for the perfect scholarship? Go to the CFG ScholarBank and type in a search term that applies to you. You can search by region, grade level , or any keyword that might narrow down your search.  Say, for example, that you are a female high school senior in Richmond that wants to major in accounting. You could type in any, or all, of the following keywords in the search box: female, accounting, Richmond, senior. The more keywords you use, the more you narrow down your search results. Don’t want to limit yourself that much? Type in one keyword and the list of scholarships will be that much longer.

At over 300 scholarships for $900,000+ and counting, the CFG ScholarBank is a great resource for students looking for a little help in defraying college costs. Why pass up free money if you can get it? Plus, just think of the serious brownie points you’ll score with your parents. You can thank us later.
