Schofield Family Scholarship Fund
The Schofield Family Scholarship Fund helps local students take the next step toward a career in science, technology, engineering, or math. The scholarship supports graduates of Napa Valley Unified School District public high schools and Justin-Siena High School who have shown both the potential and the drive to pursue STEM studies at a two- or four-year college or university — and who need financial support to get there.
The Fund reflects the shared legacy of Jennifer and George Schofield, who made Napa Valley their home for nearly fifty years. Jennifer, a mathematician with a Ph.D. from Cambridge, worked on a NASA research contract for the Apollo program before spending years tutoring local students in math, teaching in St. Helena schools, and serving on the St. Helena School Board; George spent four decades in the California wine industry, including as Vice President of Finance at Robert Mondavi Winery. Married for 61 years, they raised three children here and shared a conviction that a good education — and a love of math and science in particular — can change the course of a young person's life.
