The deadline for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Scholarship program is April 15. High school seniors may apply for the four-year scholarship, which is awarded annually to two Pennsylvania students preparing for post-secondary education. The program is privately funded and operated by The Foundation for Enhancing Communities.

“One of the very first winners of this scholarship was from our region, and I’m hopeful that future winners will be as well. I know we have a lot of hardworking and deserving students, so if you know someone who is eligible, please share this information with them.”

The program is open to graduating high school seniors who are Pennsylvania residents with plans to attend a Pennsylvania college, university or career school as a full-time student. Students must have attained a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in high school to be eligible. Other factors taken into consideration are a student’s commitment to community, leadership qualities, extracurricular activities and financial need. Details on how to apply and submit required documents are available online at www.tfec.org and www.tfec.org/scholarships/pahr/.
