HARRISBURG – High
school seniors can now apply for a Pennsylvania House of
Representatives Scholarship to help cover the costs of higher education,
Rep. Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint) announced today.
Each year, two
students preparing for post-secondary education are awarded four-year
scholarships equivalent to the value of one semester of tuition at a
college or university in the State System of Higher Education.
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 in order to be eligible
for the scholarship. A student’s commitment to community, leadership
qualities, extracurricular activities and financial need are also taken
into consideration.
To apply, interested students should visit www.RepCauser.com and click on House Scholarship Information. The application deadline is March 1.
The scholarship
program is administered through the Foundation for Enhancing
Communities. The program is privately funded by individual and corporate
donors. No tax or other public funds are used. Scholarships are
awarded through an independent panel of judges chosen by the foundation.
