H. Lee Dixon Community Impact Scholarship
The H. Lee Dixon Community Impact Scholarship was established to empower, support and promote continuing education to individuals who demonstrate a commitment to making a positive difference in their communities. This scholarship aims to provide financial assistance to students or community members who have actively engaged in volunteer work, leadership roles, and/or initiatives. The goal is to foster a culture of civic responsibility, encourage further involvement in community service, and ultimately contribute to the overall well-being and development of the community. Recipients are expected to use their education and skills to ensure that the benefits of the scholarship extend beyond individual achievement to create a legacy of community enhancement.
This scholarship is available for citizens of Hopewell, Petersburg, Colonial Heights, Prince George County, Dinwiddie County, and Chesterfield County. Priority may be given to citizens who are the child or grandchild of a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 637, or the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 637 Auxiliary. Preference may also be given to students interested in learning a trade from any trade school.
