Association offering scholarships

FALLS VILLAGE — The Falls Village Scholarship Association (FVSA) is accepting applications from high school students living in Falls Village to continue their education at colleges or trade schools for the 2022-23 academic year. Those expecting to graduate this spring from either Housatonic Valley Regional High School, Oliver Wolcott Technical High School, or any other public or private high school are eligible to apply.

New this year, FVSA is also accepting applications from 2021 high school graduates who live in Falls Village, who took a gap year and plan to continue their education this coming fall.

The application is available via an online form that can be found at FallsVillageScholarships.org. The deadline for applications and support materials is June 3, 2022.

FVSA is a committee of community members who, together with additional volunteers, work to raise funds to enable students to continue their education at colleges, universities or trade schools throughout the country. During its 40-plus year history, FVSA has awarded scholarships to well over 100 students. Due to the pandemic, FVSA was, for a third year, not able to host its annual spring fundraiser, Bingo-forEducation. FVSA welcomes donations, which will be matched by two anonymous donors until June 5 this year, to help make up the funds that would have been raised through that effort.

For more information or to make a donation, which will be doubled by two anonymous donors until June 5, go to fallsvillagescholarships.org or email fvscholarshipassociation@gmail.com. Donations may also be mailed to: FVSA, PO Box 292, Falls Village, CT 06031.
