Foundation announces $275,000 in scholarships available to area students

The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania (FCFP) has announced that nearly $275,000 in scholarships will be awarded to area students for the 2017-18 academic year. Scholarships will be awarded to graduating seniors from school districts in Bradford, Clinton, Columbia, Lycoming, Montour, Mifflin, Northumberland, Sullivan and Union counties. Additionally, the Community Foundation offers special interest scholarships, which are open to students from multiple school districts or nontraditional students.

A complete listing of all available scholarships, guidelines and applications may be found on the Community Foundation’s website, www.fcfpartnership.org, under Apply, Scholarships. Applications also can be obtained from each school district high school guidance department. Deadlines for each scholarship vary.

Endowed scholarship funds at the Community Foundation are created by gifts made by individuals and organizations. These gifts are invested to provide income to award scholarships every year. In many instances, scholarships are awarded based on pre-determined criteria that are reflective of the personal values and interests of those who establish the funds.

The Foundation’s organizational mission is to improve the quality of life in north central Pennsylvania through community leadership, the promotion of philanthropy, the strengthening of nonprofit impact and the perpetual stewardship of charitable assets. 2017 promises to provide opportunities to achieve success in all of those areas as they continue creating powerful communities through passionate giving.
