A virtual opportunity to help Arlington students

With over 75 scholarships available, Arlington Community Foundation is seeking volunteers to participate in its annual community scholarship review. The entire process is virtual, and the orientation video and applications will be available by March 2.

All volunteers are required to view the prerecorded online orientation session at their convenience but prior to reviewing applications. Volunteers will have until March 17 to review up to 25 scholarship applications.
