Valerie Rabb Academic Scholarship
Valerie Rabb was a highly respected Middletown High School interventionist who passed away unexpectedly in July 2020.
Valerie loved children and worked hard to uplift them and champion their causes. In 2020, Mrs. Robin Mack, one of Valerie's dearest colleagues, started a fundraising initiative in Valerie’s honor to provide college scholarship funding to as many Middletown High School students as possible. The rising costs of tuition have made financial aid more important than ever in helping students access their educational goals.
This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Valerie Rabb by supporting students who will pursue higher education.
Any high school senior who participates in at least one extracurricular activity may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have at least a 2.5 GPA and experience with non-profit or volunteering experience.
