Note to Corbett Graduates and AlumniNote to Corbett Graduates and Alumni
The availability of CEF sponsored scholarships, during any one year, is contingent upon the aforementioned donations and the success of fundraising activities. For this reason not all scholarships will be available every year.
Graduates will automatically be considered for all available scholarships for which they are eligible; however, CEF encourages students to list their first three preferences on the application form and develop the personal statement with these preferences in mind. The personal statement can then be used to inform readers as to the aspirations and personality of the applicant. CEF encourages applicants to seek out those specific scholarships which outline criteria which are consistent with their career interests.
Application forms may be down loaded and printed from this website. The completed forms must be mailed (USPS) or personally delivered to the Corbett Education Foundation office at the middle school by the published deadline date. ELECTRONIC COPIES ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
Hard copies of the scholarship application and renewal forms can be obtained from the CEF office if the on-line download is not achievable. If you desire hard copies be sure to contact CEF early to allow for sufficient time required for USPS delivery.

Our FAQ Section
A: All CEF scholarships are awarded annually, so yearly re-application is necessary. The same form is used for both initial and re-application purposes; however, for re-application, the following attached documents are not required: Personal Statement Letters of Recommendation Activities Record High School Transcript
Q: I am now just finishing my freshman year in college. I already know that I have to drop out of school next year so I can work and earn money for college year-after-next. After skipping next year, can I re-apply for a CEF scholarship?
A: Yes. CEF scholarships are renewable during the five year period following high school graduation, even if you skip a year. Please see re-application requirements for Group B included in Table 1.
Q: Are all the CEF scholarships essentially the same or are some “better” than others? Do some Scholarships offer more money than others?
A: First of all, each scholarship is somewhat unique in that each donor stipulates specific criteria for applicants to qualify for their scholarship. A scholarship is “better” for an individual applicant if he/she meets that specific criteria. Generally speaking, a majority of the scholarships are valued at $500 annually with a maximum payout of $3,000 available for the five year period following high school graduation. In rare instances, a scholarship may be offered at a greater value, at the discretion of the specific donor.
Q: Will I have the same scholarship donor during all the years that I attend college?
A: Not necessarily. Every scholarship awarded by CEF is an annual scholarship, so an application form must be submitted by April 1st for a scholarship to fund the following school year. Each year, the criteria supplied by the donors is matched up with the applicants’ information as provided on the form. This “matching procedure” is complicated by the fact that donors’ criteria can change, new applications come in from high school seniors, and changes occur with existing recipients who re-apply. Often these changes cause a shifting of donor-student matches.
Q: I am interested in applying for a CEF sponsored scholarship, but there seems to be a lot of deadlines for document submittal. Will CEF remind me of these dates so that I don’t miss out on a scholarship due to a delinquency on my part?
A: CEF will post a reminder on the CEF Facebook page prior to the due date. That is why each applicant must have an active Facebook account and “like” CEF. Please note that regardless of the communication provided, meeting the published deadlines remains the responsibility of the applicant.
Q: In Table 1 of the “Scholarship Application Process” on this website, I read that Progress Reports are to be submitted by recipients every January 15th and July 15th. Why is this a requirement?
A: Both donors and CEF members have a sincere interest in the accomplishments of students, and for this reason, want to maintain communication. Also, for practical reasons, CEF must be aware of changes which would affect the administration of the scholarship such as school transfer, school drop out, serious performance issues, etc. Note that it is important for CEF to be advised of any change in student contact information.
Q: How do I notify CEF if my contact information changes while I am away at school?
A: There are several ways to contact CEF, as follows:
Someone is in the CEF office almost every Monday evening between 6:00 and 8:00 pm, 503-251-4252.
