The Charlotte Housing Authority Scholarship Fund was established on November 15, 1983 by the Charlotte Housing Authority Board of Commissioners. It was founded by former CHA Youth Services Coordinator John T. Crawford, who recruited almost two dozen community leaders and representatives to assist in raising $64,990 to start the Charlotte Housing Authority Scholarship Fund. Later, it was established as an endowment fund with the Foundation For The Carolinas, in a working partnership with the Charlotte Housing Authority.
No federal, state or local dollars are received for scholarships. The Fund exists through donations and contributions from individuals, businesses, churches, foundations and other groups, including CHA residents and employees. One all-volunteer committee raises scholarship funds and the other sets the guidelines, with the direction and administrative support of the respective organizations.
Monies for the scholarship are raised annually with the kick off being every fall at a breakfast celebration. Click here for more information.
