Did you know that scholarship funds at the Community Foundation may be eligible for additional funding through the PHEAA’s PATH (Partnerships for Access To Higher Education) Program? As a PHEAA PATH Partner, the Foundation can apply for additional grant money for students. This year, the state allocated our scholarship recipients an additional $76,000 in funding. That translates to 70 of our scholarship recipients from 2013-14 receiving extra scholarship money! Here are a few examples:
- Memorial Hospital of Bedford County Fund – 7 recipients qualified for $15,510 in matched scholarships + $1,250 for Bailey scholarship
- Chestnut Ridge Christian Fund – 5 recipients qualified for $6,000 in matched scholarships
- Vetock – 3 recipients qualified for $2,882 in matched scholarships
- Harned – 4 recipients qualified for $5,000 in matched scholarships
- American Red Cross – 7 recipients qualified for $3,391 in matched scholarships
Congratulations to all of our scholarship recipients from last year and best wishes to this year’s applicants!
