Community Foundation – Mark Smith Neale II Cross of Life Memorial Scholarship
The scholarship fund was established in 1997 by his family and friends, to honor a young man who strived to balance his “cross of life”—work, play, worship and love.
The purpose of the scholarship fund is to support post-secondary educational scholarships for qualifying graduates of West Point High School, West Point, Virginia. The recipient of the scholarship will be the student who has displayed leadership, discipline, a love of the arts, team spirit and a strong commitment to worship.
An eligible student must:
- be a senior attending West Point High School
- demonstrate outstanding commitment to academics, athletics, and a balance of the “cross of life”
- be a candidate for high school graduation at the end of the current academic year, and plan to enroll in an accredited four-year college or university in the continental United States the following academic year
