Westmoreland Education Fund

The Westmoreland Education Fund was created at The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County to provide scholarships to traditional and non-traditional students who reside in Westmoreland County. The scholarship supports students pursuing higher education and demonstrates a commitment to expanding access to college for residents of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The award provides an average of $10,000 distributed over four years and is renewable, helping students complete their undergraduate degree programs. Preference is given to applicants who are first-generation college students, reflecting the fund's mission to support those who may face additional barriers to accessing higher education. Financial need is a key consideration, and applicants must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 throughout their studies.
