HOW YOU CAN HELP
Here are three ways you can help:
- Ensure the Barbara Neu Memorial Scholarship Fund becomes fully funded this year so we can start offering scholarships in 2017. A scholarship fund with the local community foundation requires a minimum of $25,000 to launch and we are just 1/5th of the way there. If you are not in a position to further support the fund financially, we would welcome volunteers to help promote the fund and its activities, via the website, social media and working with the local press and other parts of the community.
- Assist to develop the selection criteria and application process for the scholarship award(s) - this includes a means to ensure that applicants meet the criteria and a way to keep in contact with Fairfield students/alumni, their parents and others supporting Fairfield School to make sure that those eligible to apply for the scholarship are aware of the opportunity at the appropriate time.
- Work with us on the process to award these scholarships and promote the award recipients so that the fund can continue to serve its purpose going forward.
We have already received suggestions and ideas that will require volunteers to make them happen. Keep the ideas coming and we'll share the ones that need engagement. Thank you!
