Scholarships

Please visit the 2020-21 Scholarship Listing to view current scholarships, deadlines, application information, and more!  PLEASE CAREFULLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AS THE PROCESS & REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH SCHOLARSHIP ARE VERY DIFFERENT.  This link will be updated as FVHS becomes aware of more scholarships throughout the year. Please see Ms. Kamal in Student Services or email at lkamal@wcpss.net if you have any questions.
​
​UPDATE ON SENDING TRANSCRIPTS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS due to school closure:
Students should visit https://wcpss.scriborder.com/ and click on "current student not using CFNC.org" and can elect to receive a transcript in one of the following ways:
  1. They can receive an unofficial transcript mailed directly to them
  2. We can mail an official transcript to the scholarship committee or coordinator
  3. We can mail an official transcript home for them to add to their scholarship packet – the envelope will be signed and sealed and we will put it in a second envelope for mailing.  This is a temporary option available only while students are not able to pick up official transcripts at their high school or at Central Records.
Students will need to ask for Option #3 in the “special instructions” section.  Again – this is a temporary option based on current circumstances.
SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT AT FVHS
Mr. Bob Lee, a retired FVHS teacher, will be volunteering his time to help students & parents with scholarships.  Please contact him at fvhs.scholarships@gmail.com to set up an appointment.
