In 1978 the Howard Fox
Memorial Law Scholarship Fund was established by Helen and Richard Fox and
Friends to honor the memory of their son who, as a proud member of the Berks
County Bar Association, served as a young attorney in the Public Defender’s
Office.
The Howard Fox Memorial
Law Scholarship Award is presented annually at the Berks County Bar Association
Law Day Event. It is given to help fund a deserving Berks County,
Pennsylvania, resident embarking on his or her second year at an accredited Law
School.
In
June 2000, the Howard Fox Memorial Law Scholarship Fund was transferred to the
Berks County Community Foundation to manage and administer.
The
Berks County Community Foundation is a nonprofit corporation whose purpose is
to develop, manage and distribute funding to meet existing and emerging
community needs. Through permanent endowments created from charitable
gifts, the Community Foundation makes grants from the earnings of the
endowment. By keeping the principal balance of the funds intact and
spending only earnings, the Community Foundation ensures a lasting and stable
vehicle for the support and development of Berks County.
Please visit www.bccf.org for an on-line application
for the Howard Fox Memorial Law Scholarship. Complete applications must
be submitted to Berks County Community Foundation between January 15th
and April 1st.
