SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION 2011
The County Council of PTAs Scholarship has provided financial assistance to Henrico County graduates
in pursuit of higher learning for more than 20 years. The Scholarship is in honor of Dr. George H. Moody. We believe
in higher education and are committed to providing extra financial assistance that will make it possible for a young person
to continue his or her education upon graduation from high school. This could mean going to college, entering trade
school, nursing training or other post high school training.
The criteria we review includes financial need, academic achievement, extracurricular and community
service, the student's essay and recommendations. In the past 5 years alone, the County Council has awarded more than
65 scholarships for more than $86,000
Who was George H. Moody? Dr. George H. Moody was former teacher, principal and Superintendent of Schools, who retired in 1969 after 38
years of service. George H. Moody's integrity and dedication to improving the quality and standards of education
within the county have been well documented. He left an indelible mark on Henrico County Public Schools during this
13 years as Superintendent. The Henrico County Council supports Dr. Moddy's level of drive and enthusiasm in supporting
our graduates as they follow their educational goals.
