Scholarships
Each year the Branch awards scholarships to Fluvanna students. Scholarship awardees have been leaders in the classroom and in the community. Many students who receive our financial assistance continue to serve in their churches, as volunteers in local nonprofits, and as mentors for other students. One scholarship is awarded in memory of Barbara Overton Payne. Mrs. Payne graduated from S.C. Abrams High School at the age of 16. After graduation, she began working for the school system in the cafeteria. Between the years 1968-1971, Mrs. Payne served as a teacher’s aide and substitute aide, working diligently at both Central Elementary and Abrams High School. Barbara Overton Payne was a hard worker who was very dedicated to the education system of Fluvanna County. She believed in being very organized, loved reading, and placed a high value on language and perfected English grammar.
