Willard M. Henkelman, Esq. Scholarship

The Willard M. Henkelman, Esq. Scholarship is a scholarship opportunity administered by the Scranton Area Community Foundation for students from Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. This scholarship provides financial support to undergraduate students who have graduated from a high school located in Lackawanna County and are pursuing their education at Princeton University. The scholarship is designed to support local students in accessing education at one of the nation's most prestigious institutions. Recipients must maintain full-time undergraduate enrollment status at Princeton University to be eligible for this award.

Pay-It-Forward Scholarship

This scholarship is awarded to a sophomore, junior, or senior attending Penn State University as a full-time student who is a permanent resident of Lackawanna county, who is employed full-time at Penn State through work-study or an outside employer and continues working as a full time student, and who has maintained a GPA of 2.5 or higher. The scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate a commitment to both their education and work responsibilities. A unique aspect of this scholarship is the pay-it-forward commitment: when the recipient is in a position to do so in the future, he or she must commit to offering a similar scholarship opportunity to others. This creates a legacy of giving that extends beyond the initial award and helps support future generations of students facing similar circumstances.
