Left: The first recipients of grants from the WPFA Scholarship Foundation in 19V2 received the star treatment, being featured on the front page of the October issue of William Penn Life (shown at left).

Above: We continue that tradition of honoring our recipients each year in our publication, publishing the names and photos of that year's first-time recipients in the November issue, including 52 firsttime recipients in 2018.

Since then , WPA has been continuously committed to encouraging young people to improve not only themselves but also their communities. Applicants for WPFASF scholarship grants have been asked to submit short essays on various topics. When reading these essays, it is encouraging to see the genuine selflessness of our young members who strive to help others through efforts such as Special Olympics, Catholic Charities, mission trips to Ghana, the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Jerry’s Kids program, local church food banks, tornado disaster relief and homeless shelters, just to name a few. You should be proud of our Association’s students.

To date, our Scholarship Foundation has awarded 6,308 grants totaling $2,794,700. For the 2018- 2019 school year, the Foundation awarded grants to 156 students, including 52 first-time recipients, totaling $78,000.

All of this was made possible by the kindness and generosity of our members and friends. Since that very first National Scholarship Dinner Dance held in 1973 during the 30th William Penn Association National Bowling Tournament in Cleveland, Ohio, we have-and will—continue to raise funds for this worthwhile endeavor, which is nothing less than America’s future.

Truth be told, our Association's youth are engaged citizens and contributing members to society. Your donations help these young people achieve their academic goals.

Cheers to another 50 years of this great program! May the next 50 years be even more incredible. Please consider donating today.

Please make your donation payable to: “WPFA Scholarship Foundation, Inc" and mail to:

WPFA Scholarship Foundation, Inc, 709 Brighton Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15233.
