Herndon Fortnightly Club Announces Scholarship Opportunity

As part of the Herndon Fortnightly Club’s continuing policy to give back to the community, the organization announced it is taking applications for one-year scholarships for students who live in the Herndon area.

Anyone who has received a scholarship in the past is not eligible for consideration. Scholarship candidates should be accepted for entrance or enrolled in an educational institution before applying for a scholarship. Students eligible can be enrolled or planning to enroll in undergraduate classes, graduate, post graduate, continuing education or courses for re-entering the workforce.

Those interested should write a one-page letter, without attachments to the Herndon Fortnightly Club explaining why the scholarship is needed, what career goals are being pursued and what academic institution they will be attending. They should also include information relating to their activities, community service and academic standing.

Applicants should send the letter along with their name, address and phone number, to Scholarships, c/o The Herndon Fortnightly Club, P.O. Box 55, Herndon, VA 20172-0055. Applications must be received by May 24, 2011.
