EXPIRED: April 1, 2008.
Howard Fox Memorial Law Scholarship
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 of $3,000 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 the accredited Law School.
In June 2000, the Howard Fox Memorial Law Scholarship Fund was transferred
to the Berks County Community Foudation 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.
