Scholarships Awarded

 

The Elk County Community Foundation awarded a total of 97 scholarships to local students this year totaling over $117,000 in scholarship funds. Graduating seniors from area high schools were the recipients. Sixteen scholarships went Elk County Catholic, thirty to St. Marys Area, fourteen to Johnsonburg Area, twenty-one to Ridgway Area, one to Cameron County Area High School, and five went to Kane Area High School. Another six scholarships were given to students at DuBois and Brockway Area High Schools. Finally, four additional scholarships were awarded to students who were already in attendance at a post-secondary institution.

 

The dollars given to these students will impact generations to come, as these young adults begin to shape our communities.  Donors who have established these scholarships are contributing to our future leaders.  The Elk County Community Foundation Board extends their gratitude to those who have seen the need and believe in the youth of today.   Anyone interested in establishing a scholarship can contact the Foundation at 814-834-2125.
