Bridge Builders Community Foundations (BBCF) congratulates 130 students who were awarded scholarships for the 2023-2024 school year. This year, over $370,000 in awards will be made from 72 scholarship funds. These funds were created to support students who are pursuing education beyond high school.

Through BBCF’s partnership with the Pennsylvania Access to Higher Education Program, qualifying students may have their scholarship awards matched by the state.

Bridge Builders Community Foundations’ scholarship program is a collaborative effort between staff, board members, volunteer committee members, school administrators, and donors.

Scholarship funds are created in honor or memory of a loved one, to support certain career paths, or to simply give back to the community. If you are considering establishing a scholarship fund or other type of charitable fund to make a positive impact in our community, please call the Community Foundation office at 814-677-8687.
