FATE Scholarships Each year through a competitive process, FATE awards five individual scholarships to students enrolled in the Foundation-sponsored programs. Each scholarship totals $1,800 and may be renewed for one year upon identified academic success with a total scholarship of $3,600. Students apply the scholarship monies toward additional training at a variety of postsecondary educational facilities. Working with FCPS, the Foundation continues to encourage and support career preparation linkages through the individual instructional programs in order to be competitive in today’s high-tech global economy. The Northern Virginia Builders Industry Association (NVBIA), in conjunction with the Custom Builders Counsel (CBC), made a third $5,000 contribution to the FATE scholarship. The $5,000 scholarship, awarded in 2007, was received by a student from Oakton High School who is attending East Carolina University pursuing a career in interior design. The National Capitol Builders Network (NCBN) made a $2,500 contribution to the FATE scholarship fund this year. It is anticipated that this will continue to be an annual donation for students pursuing postsecondary education in the construction field. The $2,500 scholarship will be awarded to a construction technologies student in June 2008. FATE will award five $1,800 scholarships in June 2008 to high school seniors who are enrolled in FATE-sponsored programs. The $1,800 scholarships are renewable for a second year. In addition, four 2005-2006 school year scholarship award recipients were approved in June 2007 for renewal of their scholarships.
