Dr. Tom Moore Family Scholarship
Supporting high-achieving East High School students with financial need.
Eligibility Criteria
Every CFNIL scholarship has a unique intent, often reflecting the background of the donor or person in whose memory the fund was created. CFNIL uses an online "universal" application to ensure the most efficient process; as an applicant, you do not need to predetermine which scholarships you should apply for. Complete ONE application each cycle, and your answers to a series of yes/no and personal background questions automatically match you to every scholarship you are eligible for. Because our scholarships were created to support students of all ages, backgrounds, and aspirations, we encourage every scholarship seeker (high school graduating seniors and older) to apply!
Specifications
Academic performance will be given high priority consideration in the selection process.
Preference will be given to applicants who plan to pursue a career in teaching.
Written Prompt
Each CFNIL scholarship is created with a specific purpose in mind. As you complete the application, the system automatically matches you with every scholarship for which you are eligible and will present you with a specific written prompt for each. You're encouraged to craft a unique response to each prompt to show the reviewers why you're the best candidate for that scholarship.
Scholarship Background and Intent
Though Dr. Moore didn't attend Rockford East High School (East), his dental practice was situated across the street from East. Over the years, Dr. Moore's dental practice frequently employed East students. After many interactions and proximity to Rockford East High School, Dr. Moore and his family felt compelled to support the students of East in furthering their education journey, especially those that would like to pursue a career in teaching.
