The applicant must be an Arlington resident pursuing a career or technical education accredited program, within a high-growth career, that will be completed within two years. The Award is available to recent high school or college graduates and non-traditional students (see the application for more details). Each recipient may be awarded up to $10,000. Applicants are required to submit an online application form as well as a short video application. Click here to sign up for e-mail deadline reminders about the Chu and Piper Family Award.

In the past decade, Arlington Community Foundation has awarded more than $6 million to Arlington students attending college.

Generous individuals, families, companies, and organizations fund the scholarships, which have their own unique eligibility criteria. We offer approximately 100 college scholarships each year, with many differing criteria for eligibility, but only one application is required to be considered for all the available scholarships.

For those students who choose to attend Marymount University, Marymount will match our scholarship award up to $3,000.
