Through our scholarship program, we at the Community Foundation have had the opportunity to meet students from all walks of life. Whether it was a student headed for an Ivy League university, someone finishing their courses at technical school, or an adult going back after all these years, Bridge Builders Community Foundations has supported them.
For over 40 years, the Community Foundation has assisted students in their pursuit of higher education and has awarded over $4 million in scholarships.
Just this year, nearly 200 individual scholarships were awarded, totaling over $350,000. Scholarship notifications have been mailed out and students should be receiving them soon. The award letters contain instructions on how students claim their awards through their schools.
Lauren Lupinacci, Director of Finance of Operations, who oversees the scholarship process, looks forward each year to getting to know our students and their goals for the future.
If you are considering establishing a scholarship fund or other type of charitable fund to make a positive impact in our community, please call the Community Foundation office at 814-677-8687.
Congratulations to all the 2022-2023 scholarship recipients and a sincere thank you to all who make these scholarships possible.
