John C. Rodriguez Scholarship Fund
The John C. Rodriguez Scholarship Fund, established in 2004 as a lasting tribute to
CFL friend and Hononary Trustee John, exists to support the next generation of
stage performers. An integral part of CFL for five years, John was not only a set
designer and builder but also a supremely talented musician, graphic artist and
vocalist. This annual scholarship, managed and promoted by CFL and John’s family
and friends, is awarded to at least two outstanding Monmouth County high school
seniors who are attending college for the performing arts (drama, dance and/or
musical theatre). Click on 'Scholarship" on the navigation bar for more information
