Our Fund Advisor portal is a valuable resource that allows those who advise a CFFRV fund to view recent fund activity, make contributions, and more. We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to further guide you as you use your fund. For information specific to scholarship Fund Advisors, please see our Scholarship Fund Advisor FAQs underneath the main FAQ section.

Scholarship Fund Advisor FAQs
How do I. . .
Those with scholarship funds administered through the CFFRV Scholarship Program do not make distributions separate from the scholarship award agreed upon in their fund terms.
Those with scholarship funds administered by a committee outside of the CFFRV Scholarship Program should contact our Scholarship Team at scholarship@cffrv.org or 630-896-7800 to discuss the distribution process.
For those with scholarship funds who wish to promote said funds, it is important to remember that students cannot apply to any one individual scholarship. Rather, when they apply to the CFFRV Scholarship Program, they are potentially considered for many scholarships within the program. Please direct anyone interested in donating to your fund or applying for the scholarship to our website. We always welcome Fund Advisors’ enthusiasm in promoting their fund as part of the larger program! For any other scholarship fund-related questions, please contact our Scholarship Team at scholarship@cffrv.org or 630-896-7800.
