ABD SCHOLARSHIP FUND PROGRAM

The Board of Directors of the Association of Blauvelt Descendants established a scholarship program to promote the intellectual development of our members, their families and the community as a whole through financial support. The ABD is proud to be able to offer this assistance in order to help fulfill students’ dreams and aspirations. The awards are available each year and will be given as a result of interest earned from bequests and monies donated to this fund in the future. The Scholastic Awards include:

The Raymond & Carolyn Blauvelt Scholarship Award ($1,000.00 US)

The Starr & Dorothy Schofield Blauvelt Scholarship Award ($1,000.00 US)

The Association of Blauvelt Descendants Scholarship Award ($500.00 US)

The Jackie Hegeman Award ($500.00)

The scholarships are available for high school students applying to college, enrolled students in undergraduate or graduate degree programs, and for those in a continuing education program.
