The High School to Career Scholarship was established in 2009 by a generous donation from an anonymous donor. The donor advocates for graduating high school students from any high school in Allegheny County that is Pittsburgh Promise ineligible to pursue higher education opportunities that will lead to gainful employment.

 

The selection of scholarship recipients is made by the Scholarship Review Committee. Awards may be used for tuition, books and fees for a maximum of five semesters and maximum award of $10,000. This scholarship is intended to provide funding to allow recent high school graduates from throughout Allegheny County to pursue a two year Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science and then enter the workforce in their chosen field. Culturally and ethnically diverse students are encouraged to apply.

 

Awards will be used for tuition, fees and all other education related expenses. Scholarship recipients will be evaluated each semester. The scholarship may be terminated if the recipient fails to maintain a 2.75 GPA.
