DREAMS BECOME REALITY THROUGH EDUCATION

The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore’s (CFES) Scholarship Program reflects our belief that education changes lives and helps communities thrive. Grounded in a commitment to equity and supported by the generosity of our donors, CFES scholarships invest in Wicomico, Worcester, and Somerset County students to help reduce financial and systemic barriers to education. We recognize that addressing access, affordability, and achievement gaps requires creative, responsive solutions that enable students to begin, continue, and complete their educational goals.

By providing impactful scholarship and financial support, the CFES Scholarship Program affirms the broader values of advancing economic mobility, workforce development, and long-term vitality for communities throughout Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore.
