In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
This scholarship opportunity is open to high school seniors who are residents of Franklin County and have gained admission to an accredited institution of higher learning. Eligibility criteria include a minimum grade point average of 2.5, active participation in extracurricular activities and community service, and demonstrated financial need. Applicants are required to submit a completed scholarship application along with three letters of recommendation, one of which must be from their high school guidance counselor, in addition to other specified documentation. The deadline for all application submissions is 4:30 p.m. on March 30. A committee comprised of local professionals and Franklin County representatives will be responsible for selecting the scholarship recipients and determining the award amounts.
Information and application forms for the scholarship can be obtained from high school guidance counselors within the county. They are also accessible online through the official Franklin County website at www.franklincountypa.gov/apply-file-for. Additionally, prospective applicants can visit the Franklin County Office of Veterans Affairs, located at 425 Franklin Farm Lane in Chambersburg, during regular business hours to pick up the necessary materials. The “We Support You Scholarship” is funded through donations to the Franklin County Veterans Affairs Outreach Fund.
