Annenberg Public Policy Center News

Last Updated: July 28, 2011
 

Working with the Annenberg Public Policy Center, the Rural School and Community Trust provides support for rural schools in the form of scholarships, and student-focused programs.

The Leonore Annenberg Scholarship Fund identifies high school juniors who, in the face of difficult circumstances, demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and noble character. It then provides these students with Leonore Annenberg College Scholarships, which cover all undergraduate expenses, including a small stipend, at fully accredited and academically rigorous four-year colleges or universities in the United States. All scholarships are made on an invitation-only basis through the Rural Trust. Unsolicited requests are not entertained. If you are interested in applying for this scholarship, please contact the Capacity Building Program at (252) 433-8844 or tampathia.evans@ruraledu.org for further details.
