PA House Scholarship

Who says your government isn't working for you? This is especially true for high school seniors. Check out the PA House Scholarship:

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives’ Scholarship Program is open to all college-bound high school seniors who plan to attend a Pennsylvania college, university or career school.

The program is independently administered by The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC)and is not affiliated with any political party.

Two scholarships are awarded per year and can be renewed for up to four years of college. The award consists of the value of one semester of tuition at a State System of Higher Education school (approximately $2,500), but scholarship recipients may attend any Pennsylvania public or private post-secondary institution. Students may also be eligible to receive matching funds from SAGE Scholars, Inc. (Savings and Growth for Education) and the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency’s (PHEAA) PATH Program.

Recipients’ names are automatically submitted to PHEAA, and a matching award may be granted based upon remaining financial need. The House program is funded by private, tax-deductible donations, including gifts from former and current House members, as well as proceeds from House-sponsored events. (h/t me/bl)
