WELCOME TO THE NEW SCHOLARSHIP LINK
For your convenience, we have redesigned this page for easy access to scholarship and award opportunities using categories headings listed alphabetically. Another change you will note is that we have combined all scholarship and award information into one link. Local, regional and national are now listed under the specific group heading.
In addition, we have listed information targeted to seniors in the first section and juniors in the second section.
For instance all sports related information will be listed under the SPORTS section.
We also recommend that students and parents continue to use web based scholarship information in addition to our site. You will notice links at the bottom of the page to the most popular sites.
We also would like to include any scholarship and or award information you would like to post to the site to share with other students and parents.
If you have any questions concerning scholarship information and this site, please contact Maureen Pedzwater at (412) 221-4542 ext 253 or via mpedzwater@southfayette.org.
