AFCEA NOVA Gives $164,000 in Scholarships in 2010
AFCEA NOVA is pleased to announce the award of education scholarships totaling $164,000 in 2010. AFCEA NOVA awards scholarships annually to exemplary students from the Northern Virginia region who are studying for degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
“This was our best year ever,” said Chris Cusano, VP for Education. “We had an outstanding group of over 200 candidates and we were able to award scholarships to over 40 of them.
We are grateful to our corporate sponsors and everyone who worked to make our AFCEA NOVA IT Days such a great success this past year; the proceeds allowed us to fund a record number of scholarships this year.
Thanks also to our Scholarship Committee for their great work, especially outgoing committee chair Linda Bunton from Powertek. Congratulations to all our winners!”
The scholarship committee will begin outreach efforts for the 2010-2011 program year in September. Information about the committee and the application process will be available at www.afceanova.org/scholarships shortly.

Pathway Program at NVCC & GMU
At the September 6, 2007 Monthly Luncheon AFCEA NOVA, in conjunction with the AFCEA Intl Educational Foundation, presented a check for $20,000 to Northern Virginia Community College to help make college possible for more students in our region interested in studying math and science. The program, called Pathway to the Baccalaureate, provides local financially needy students the opportunity to attend Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), and, ultimately, enroll at George Mason University (GMU).
