List of Scholarships

The "College 4 Kids Scholarship" at Lord Fairfax Community College was funded by the late Mrs. Nancy Crosby in fall 2004 to provide a week of fun and learning for children in the second through fifth grades. The funds may be used for College 4 Kids tuition.  

Parents and/or guardians may apply for funds up to $185 only once per summer semester. Funds will not be issued to parents and/or guardians.  Instead, the funds will be issued directly to the College.

To be eligible for the scholarship, students must:

• Be a rising second, third, fourth or fifth grader
  
• Be in a family with a household income of less than $30,000 and/or qualify for government subsidies (food stamps, for example)

In 2005, LFCC established its inaugural men's and women's soccer teams, the Cannons.  The groups were organized as "club" teams, which are student organizations formed to compete in specific sports. "Intercollegiate athletic competition will certainly add to the richness and vibrancy of the LFCC experience," said LFCC President John J. "Ski" Sygielski. "These sports teams will provide opportunities for LFCC students to grow, collaborate and learn outside of the classroom with fellow LFCC students and their counterparts at other colleges and universities. And, they allow members of our local communities to become uniquely involved with LFCC."

This scholarship was established in 2006 with proceeds received from the sale of 21 baseballs autographed by baseball great Cal Ripken Jr.  Ripken was the featured speaker at an LFCC event in 2005 and gave the baseballs to the College at that time.

This scholarship will be awarded annually to one full- or part-time LFCC student who is a member of the College's men's soccer team and one full- or part-time LFCC student who is a member of the College's women's soccer team.

The scholarship award, not to exceed $500 per person, may be applied toward tuition, books and/or fees and will be divided equally between the fall and spring semesters. Satisfactory academic progress (minimum grade point average of 3.5) must be maintained in order for the recipients to receive the award for the spring semester.

The following criteria must be met:

• Must complete a scholarship application
• Must demonstrate financial need
• Must either be a current member of the College's men's or women's soccer team (August through end of season) in good standing or planning to play in the next soccer season; a student planning to play in the next soccer season must include with the application a written confirmation from the appropriate (men's or women's) LFCC soccer coach that the student has made a commitment to try out for the next team. (Please note: Only those who qualify for the scholarship and actually make the team will receive the scholarship.)
• Must exemplify the ideals that Ripken demonstrated, including responsibility, persistence, work ethic and team work
• Must submit a signed letter of recommendation (from an LFCC employee) that addresses the student's level of responsibility, persistence, work ethic and team work
