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?
To qualify for the scholarship, applicants needed to be high school seniors residing in Franklin County, accepted into an accredited higher learning institution, and demonstrate financial need. Additionally, students were required to maintain a minimum 2.5 grade point average and be involved in extracurricular activities and community service. The application process also included submitting three letters of reference, one of which had to be from a high school guidance counselor, along with other required documentation.
The five scholarship recipients for this year are Sawyer Allen of Greencastle-Antrim High School, who plans to study anthropology and philosophy with a pre-law focus at the University of Pennsylvania; Tara Brown of Chambersburg Area Senior High School, who will pursue nursing at Messiah University; Camellia Holthaus of Fannett-Metal High School, who intends to study music education at Gettysburg College; Luke Metz of Commonwealth Charter Academy, who will study theology and apologetics at Liberty University; and Kenney Tripp of Greencastle-Antrim High School, who will study advertising and public relations at Susquehanna University.
The We Support You Scholarship program is funded in part by donations to the Franklin County Veterans Affairs Outreach Fund. This year’s scholarships were also supported by a donation from the Elks Lodge 600 in Chambersburg. Contributions to the fund can be made by mailing or delivering a check payable to Franklin County Veterans Affairs, Attn: Outreach Fund, to the Franklin County Veterans Affairs Office at 425 Franklin Farm Lane, Chambersburg, PA 17202. Further information about Franklin County Veterans Affairs and its services is available on the county’s website or by calling 717-263-4326. Applications for the 2027 We Support You Scholarship are expected to be available in January and can be obtained by contacting the Franklin County Veterans Affairs Office.
