Catherine "Cathy" Belter Memorial Endowed Fellowship

This fellowship is for students pursuing graduate licensure or a degree within the College of Education and Human Development. Applicants must have a 3.0 or greater GPA with documented financial need. Applicants must be employed in the Fairfax County Public School system and demonstrate a commitment to the teaching profession and the field of education.
