The Vantagepoint Memorial Scholarship program is dedicated to the principle that survivors of public sector employees who give so much to their communities, and who pay the ultimate price for their service, should have greater security through education scholarships. The goal is to award ten or more scholarships annually through this new program. Scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student' s choice. CSFA is a national nonprofit educational support and student aid service organization that seeks to involve and assist the private sector in expanding educational opportunities and encouraging educational achievement. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, age, gender, disability, or national origin.
Individuals are eligible to receive only one award.
Awards are for vocational, undergraduate and graduate study. On-line transcripts and grade reports are not acceptable. Applicants are responsible for gathering and submitting all necessary information, including an official letter from the deceased employee's place of work, certifying that the employee died in the line of duty. Selection of Recipients Scholarship finalists are selected by CSFA on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience, statement of goals and aspirations, unusual personal or family circumstances, an outside appraisal, and a letter from the deceased employee's place of work. Financial need as calculated by CSFA must be demonstrated for the student to receive an award.
