Chester County Community Foundation is accepting applications for the Natalie A.W. Leaf Scholarship Fund. Each scholarship is $2,500.

Natalie A.W. Leaf was a West Chester native and elementary school art teacher who was passionate about skilled craftsmanship and the power of education to transform lives. In the early 1960s, Leaf began restoring her home and discovered a shortage of skilled craftspeople. Upon her death in 1989, her home and antiques were auctioned off to create a scholarship to encourage Chester County residents to preserve these arts.

To apply by Wednesday, April 15, visit http://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=chester. More details are available by emailing grants@chescocf.org.
