Scholarship Deadline Extension: May 24, 2024

by | Apr 17, 2024

The Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) offers nearly fifty scholarship opportunities for individuals pursuing post-secondary education. Scholarship applications are available for the 2024-2025 school year through CFFC’s online scholarship software, which can be accessed from the Scholarships page at www.cffayettepa.org.

Due to changes in the FAFSA system, CFFC’s scholarship application deadline has been extended from April 30 to May 24. We recommend that students answer as many sections of their applications as possible, SAVE their applications, and return when they have all of the data they need to complete and submit the applications.

Applicants will complete a “universal” application to determine their eligibility for individual scholarship opportunities. Based on the required criteria, applicants will then see a list of scholarships that meet their qualifications. Each application will have additional questions and must be submitted individually. Some scholarships target a field of study, participation in extracurricular actives, or a specific post-secondary school. Each scholarship opportunity is made possible by donors who created a charitable fund to support local students in this way.

For assistance, please contact Mrs. Lee O’Neil, Scholarship Coordinator, at eoneil@cffayettepa.org. You can also call the CFFC office at 724-437-8600.
