			<h3>Programs</h3>
			<p>The Education Foundation funds programs designed to nurture education in Anderson Valley. They have been chosen with the goal of supporting academic achievement and community interaction at all grade levels. All of the programs have been successful and appreciated for many years. The Internship and Fellowship Programs are unique and especially relevant given the small population and rural setting of our schools. Internships provide opportunities to develop skills and build community locally while Fellowships encourage looking beyond the valley for new perspectives and experiences.</p>
			<h4>Grants:</h4>
			<p>Every year AVEF provides financial support to teachers, students, parents, mentors or community groups for a wide variety of projects. The purpose of this program is to enhance the educational opportunities available to the youth of Anderson Valley. All applications for grants must be received in writing. Guidelines for grant requests are available on this website. The AVEF board reviews and responds to these requests at its monthly meeting. (<a class="{{isActiveRoute 'Grants'}}" href="{{pathFor 'Grants'}}">more...</a>)</p>
			<h4>Internships:</h4>
			<p>This is a chance for high school students to try something new and gain job experience. Every year AVEF supports a number of summer work opportunities for current high school students. Local businesses and individuals who agree to mentor a student supply job descriptions for their specific needs. These job descriptions will be available for students to review in March of each year. Students are selected by the mentor on the basis of the student's application and interview. The Internship Job List and Internship Student Application Form are available below.  Students who successfully complete the required 80 hours of work are paid. (<a class="{{isActiveRoute 'Internships'}}" href="{{pathFor 'Internships'}}">more...</a>)</p>
			<h4>Scholarships:</h4>
			<p>Each June AVEF awards scholarships to AVHS graduating seniors who have applied to attend a college, university or vocational school. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of GPA, SAT scores, financial need, educational and personal goals and quality of the essay submitted with an application. In addition references, awards, work experience, community service, and other criteria are taken into account. An application form is available on this website. The Scholarship Selection Criteria are available on this website to allow students an opportunity to see how scholarship applications are evaluated. (<a class="{{isActiveRoute 'Scholarships'}}" href="{{pathFor 'Scholarships'}}">more...</a>)</p>
			<h4>Fellowships:</h4>
			<p>This program allows high school juniors to apply for a summer educational opportunity outside of Anderson Valley. The program of interest can be located within the United States or even abroad. AVEF will support fees, transportation, living expenses and incidentals. Students must complete the AVEF application before the deadline and interview with our selection committee. The application form is available on this web site. This program is competitive and open to current juniors only.

			<h4>Jr High Summer</h4>
			<p>This program is an opportunity for students in 6th, 7th and 8th grade to gain new experiences during the summer. There are a wide variety of camps to choose from ranging from academic subjects (e.g. science exploration) to the arts (e.g. dance and theater) to sports. Students must complete and submit an application. (<a class="{{isActiveRoute 'JrHighSummer'}}" href="{{pathFor 'JrHighSummer'}}">more...</a>)</p>
