Common Good Foundation doubles 2022 scholarship award
The Common Good Foundation, in partnership with the South West Communities Chamber of Commerce, will award two $1,000 scholarships this year to high school students.
Because of the success of the chamber’s 29th annual car raffle, which was sponsored by Hefren-Tillotson and a yearlong 50/50 raffle, the Common Good Foundation, is able to present the scholarships to young people who have shown exemplary work and community leadership.
High school seniors from Carlyton, Chartiers Valley, South Fayette, Upper St. Clair and surrounding school districts are all welcome to apply. Requirements include but are not limited to a minimum 3.2 GPA, providing one teacher recommendation, providing a copy of high school transcript — does not have to be official copy — and completing the 2022 scholarship application
Essay questions include:
- Tell us about a personal achievement that makes you proud.
- What is your greatest strength/ weakness?
- Why do you deserve this scholarship?
- Is there anything else you would like to add?
New this year, students will be asked to include a 30-second video introduction.
Applications can be mailed to South West Communities Chamber of Commerce, Attn: The Common Good Foundation Scholarship, 990 Washington Pike, Bridgeville, Pa. 15017. Digital files should be sent to info@southwestcommunitieschamber.org or received via flash drive.
