Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I'm eligible for a scholarship?

An applicant must be a Woodbury resident planning to attend an accredited, post-secondary course of study. Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of scholarship, school activities, community service and financial need. Most awards are a combination of these elements in varying proportions. Additionally, there are scholarships available through named endowments and grants that may have additional criteria (see Endowment and Grants). Currently, scholarships are available primarily to first and second year students.

How do I apply for a scholarship?

Applications must be submitted by April 1st of each year for awards made in June. Application instructions are included on the application form. The form may be downloaded from this site or are available in the guidance office at Nonnewaug High School.

How are award recipients determined?

A selection committee comprised of Woodbury Scholarship Fund trustees and other community volunteers reviews the applications. Applicants are evaluated based on the content of the application and, in many cases, an interview.

Will my application be kept confidential?

Yes. Only selection committee members and select trustees see applications. Financial statements are sent directly to Citizen's Scholarship Foundation of America(CSFA) for assessment. CSFA provides a consolidated assessment of each student's financial ability to pay to the selection committee.

Who do I contact with questions about applying?
