EDA AND CLIFF VINER COMMUNITY SCHOLARS FOUNDATION INC

Description

The Viner Community Scholars Foundation believes that with the help of our community we can change the projection of students life. We do this by awarding 4-year, last dollar scholarships to students graduating from our partner Palm Beach County High Schools. To qualify, each student must graduate with at least a 3.0 unweighted GPA, complete over 100 hours of community service, be attending a Florida public university or college, and display significant financial need. Alongside our scholarships, we also have a robust mentorship program in which each student is matched with a mentor of similar backgrounds, career fields or personalities. As part of the scholarship, each student is required to reach out to heir mentors at least once a week or every other week. We also have over 20 local, community service agencies that provide various, medical, legal and counseling services to our scholars for their full 4 years of school. We currently have over 140 students actively pursuing their degrees!
