The Adams County Community Foundation (the Community Foundation) today announced $188,000 in new scholarship awards to students in Adams County and South-Central Pennsylvania. The amount awarded brings the total amount of scholarships granted by the Community Foundation since its founding to more than $1.4 million dollars. Awards range from $500 to $30,000 each and go to students pursuing higher education.
“Our Scholarship Committee, led by board member Nathan Mares, does an outstanding job selecting scholarship winners,” noted Community Foundation President and CEO Ralph Serpe. “But they are also working hard to eliminate scholarship displacement – when receipt of a private scholarship like the ones offered by the Community Foundation and others, leads to a reduction in other forms of financial aid. The Community Foundation is leading an effect to eliminate the practice in Pennsylvania.”
Serpe said the committee had received 205 applications and that the committee had worked carefully to ensure a diverse and talented set of winners. “We’ve do all we can to eliminate bias. The committee is not seeing the applicant’s handwriting and their demographics are not known. We’re looking for motivated students, engaged with their communities and schools,” he said.
