Impact the future

The rewards that come with a higher education are priceless. But, that education comes at an ever-higher price. Studies conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics show that 85 percent of all first-time, full-time undergraduate students at 4-year degree-granting institutions receive financial aid. In short, our college-bound children need help.

That's why since 1972, William Penn Association has awarded more than $2.5 million in scholarship grants to its young members attending accredited institutions of higher learning. Last year alone, the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation awarded grants to 161 students totaling $80,500. We intend to grant nearly the same amount in 2016.

It is only through the generosity of our members, branches and friends that WPA can continue to

offer this financial support to our children seeking to improve their lives through education.

When you donate to the WPFA Scholarship Foundation, you confirm your belief in the potential of our children and in the power of education. And because of your help, our children will transform the world and our communities. It's not an exaggeration: your donation impacts the future.

So, why not make an impact today? It's easy to do. Simply send your tax-deductible donation to:

WPFA Scholarship Foundation 709 Brighton Road Pittsburgh, PA 15233-1821
