MVF begins 34th annual scholarship fund drive for Village high school seniors

Since 1991, the Montgomery Village Foundation (MVF), in partnership with Gaithersburg and Watkins Mill high schools, has awarded scholarships to deserving Village high school seniors totaling more than $57,500.

Scholarships are awarded to Watkins Mill High School (WMHS) and Gaithersburg High School (GHS) students who have demonstrated outstanding scholastic achievement and participated in community or civic activities. Applicants are screened by a committee at each high school, with the MVF Scholarship Committee making the final selections in May. As established by the MVF Board of Directors, all contributions are voluntary, and no assessment dollars are used to fund the program.

The scholarship fund was originally launched by the MVF Board of Directors to coincide with the 25^th anniversary of Montgomery Village and MVF. This year’s fund totals and recipient names will be announced in late Spring at school ceremonies and in Montgomery Village News.

Donations by check must be made out directly to either Watkins Mill High School PTSA Scholarship Fund or to Gaithersburg High School PTSA Scholarship Fund. To make a tax-deductible contribution to the fund for either school, complete the form below and return it to MVF at the address indicated.

The MVF Scholarship Fund is an excellent opportunity to bring Village residents and the WMHS and GHS communities closer together. The impact these scholarships can make goes beyond financial assistance. They represent a commitment to our young people, a recognition of achievement and an investment in our future.

Village residents who would like to make a tax-deductible donation to the fund for 2024 for either or both high schools, should print and complete this form. Please write a check made out directly to either Watkins Mill High School PTSA Scholarship Fund or Gaithersburg High School PTSA Scholarship Fund. If you wish to contribute to both schools, please write two checks, one to each school. Mail or drop off the form and check(s) to the MVF Office, 10120 Apple Ridge Road, Montgomery Village, MD 20886. MVF has a drop-box located in the parking lot of the MVF Office.
