Joshua Swimmer, Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) Board of Directors’ Chairperson, has announced the Foundation’s 2016 Scholarship Awards at the Foundation’s recent Scholarship Event held at Duck Hollow in Uniontown on May 26.
Swimmer remarked, “These scholarship funds were created by individuals or families for different purposes – some in honor or memory of a loved one and others to give back to the community. All were created with the intent to provide quality post-secondary educational opportunities to Fayette County students. Approximately $160,000 will be awarded this year, with individual award amounts ranging from $500 to $7000. Qualifying students are also eligible for a potential match through our partnership with the Pennsylvania Access to Higher Education Program. Important to note is that in 2011, we awarded only $60,000 in scholarships, and today, five years later, we are awarding $100,000 more.”
