Each year, The Erie Community Foundation awards between $350,000 to $500,000 in scholarships to an average of 250 deserving students. Most scholarships are intended for high school students seeking higher education, but The Foundation is also home to a grade school scholarship, as well as law and medical school scholarships. Most deadlines are in April and May.
“In today’s world, scholarships are increasingly important for students and quite popular with donors,” said Michael Batchelor, president of The Erie Community Foundation. There are now 51 different scholarship funds within The Erie Community Foundation, 20 in the Corry Community Foundation and 2 at the North East Community Foundation as well as 2 with the Union City Community Foundation, for a total of 75 scholarships.
Each scholarship is distinct. Recipients are selected in accordance with criteria established by the donor. The Erie Community Foundation publicizes the availability of scholarships through local high school guidance offices. To learn more, visit our website featuring the various scholarships.
A nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, the RCWE’s mission is to connect people with jobs through collaborative workforce development efforts and strong partnerships with economic development, business, education, and government sectors in the Northwest Pennsylvania region.
