2023-2024 Scholarship Recipient.

CWF celebrates our 2023-2024 scholarship recipient Maria Reda who will graduate in May with an associates of art degree!

CWF president-elect, Anna Dinisio, had the honor of attending the Community Fabric Awards in April and meeting Maria who spoke at the event. “Maria expressed her gratitude for her CWF Scholarship and shared that it helped make her journey through college easier by spending less time worrying about how she was going to pay for college and more time studying.” Maria will head to NCU in Chapel Hill this fall where she has been accepted into the C-STEP (Carolina Student Transfer Excellence Program).

Education is one of the three cornerstones of our organization—Networking, Education, Encouragement. Providing a scholarship each year to a woman twenty-five years or older who is enrolled in a certificate or degree program at Craven Community College and for whom finances are an obstacle to completing her education, is key to fulfilling that cornerstone.

As Maria’s scholarship comes to an end, we make our commitment to next year’s scholarship recipient. To help fortify the future of this program, we have once again opened a donation page on the CWF website,Donate to Scholarship Program, for any member who would like to personally contribute to the fund. Thank you for your consideration of this important program.
