EBENSBURG, Jan. 9 – State Rep. Frank Burns, D-Cambria, is reminding graduating high school seniors and their families about the availability of the 2018 Pennsylvania House of Representatives Scholarship, which awards four-year scholarships to two students preparing to enter post-secondary education.

Burns said the application deadline is Thursday, March 1, and applicants must be Pennsylvania high school residents who have a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average, plan to attend a state college, university or career school as a full-time student, and demonstrate leadership and community service.

“These scholarships are privately funded by individual and corporate donors, so no tax dollars are involved,” Burns said. “I encourage all interested and eligible 72^nd Legislative District residents to apply.”

Burns said the scholarship is administered through the Foundation for Enhancing Communities and the application can be found on its website at www.tfec.org.

Applicants can also contact Burns’ Ebensburg office at (814) 472-8021 for help with this or any other state-related matter.
