College scholarships are a mainstay at the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. Since 1950 charitable people have established more than 90 scholarship endowments. As a result, the Hampton Roads Community Foundation is southeastern Virginia’s largest scholarship provider, awarding more than $23 million since 1950 to approximately 4,734 students – most of them for four years of study. For the 2024-25 school year alone, we provided over $1.8 million to help 490 students go to college.
