The Carr Family Foundation Application for Scholarship
The CFF recognizes that there are many students who manage to fund most or all of their college education through family help, institutional scholarships, and grants. We are interested in funding students who have the intellect and work ethic to succeed in college, but who will incur substantial debt to attend because they lack family and institutional support.
