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
