Clarence T. "Moe" Fox, Jr. Scholarship Endowment

The Clarence T. “Moe” Fox, Jr. Scholarship Endowment was established by Mrs. Monteen Fox as a memorial to her husband, Mr. Clarence T. “Moe” Fox, Jr. Mr. Fox, a former educator at CVCC and Bunker Hill High School, wanted his students to have an opportunity to continue their education beyond high school. Education was very important to Mr. Fox and his love of learning will continue through his students because of the positive environment he created in the classroom. In addition, he was very active in community service especially working with the Hispanic community. He volunteered countless hours to his church, community, schools, and local organizations. Preference for the scholarship will be given to a senior in one of the Catawba County high schools with financial need that has demonstrated academic achievement.
