âVMDAECâs 80th anniversary comes as we also celebrate our millionth dollar of scholarships awarded since the Foundationâs inception in 2001,â Russell G. âRustyâ Brown, chair of the VMDAEC Education Scholarship Foundation Board, said in the press release. âThese two important milestones merited an extraordinary celebratory act on our part. To that end, we decided to give $80,000 in scholarships â the most we have ever given in the history of the foundation.â
VMDAEC awarded 65 scholarships in total based on financial need, academic achievement, community involvement and a student’s personal history. A number of scholarships were also given to those participating in co-op. NOVEC also awarded $20,000 in scholarships to high school seniors, but names of the recipients have not yet been released.
