The Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation (WRCF) announces that online submission is now open for its annual $25,000 college scholarship.
Administered by the D.C. College Success Foundation (http://www.dccollegesuccessfoundation.org), the WRCF scholarship will provide one deserving, high-potential and low-income public high school senior in either Washington, D.C. or Prince George's County, Md. with a college scholarship that will be disbursed in $5,000 increments annually.

-- 2011: Yasmine Arrington, Elon College--2010: Kiana Hardy, Spelman College--2009:Clayton Armstrong, University of Arizona
