PLDR was pleased to continue its support of the Corvias Foundation at an event in Pinehurst this week. The Corvias Foundation was founded in 2006 to provide scholarships and grants to children and spouses of deployed US servicemen and servicewomen. Since inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $15 million in scholarships and grants to military-connected students to support their education, with scholarships ranging from $5,000 to $50,000. PLDR has been a sponsor of the Foundation for many years and we have been awed by the dedication and drive of these scholarship recipients to expand their education and to serve their communities.
