I will graduate from a high school in Western PA this coming June. I plan to attend either CCAC or IUP in the fall to further my passion of nursing. I am seeking extra financial help to minimize my debt. I'm interested in any scholarships that might make my education less expensive, while helping as many people as I can along the way!

I am applying for this scholarship because I have 7 siblings. 5 of my siblings have autism and I am the first child who does not have this disorder. I need some help getting to college because I am the first one going to college and this will help me get a jump start on my career plans! Thank you very much for this opportunity! - Erik W.

I just started at All State Career School. I applied for FASFA and even received a grant towards my CDL course. Unfortunately, they don't cover everything. I am responsible for $150 a month for the next six months. It may not seem like a lot too most, but I volunteer 40 hours a week at a homeless shelter to pay for my stay there. I'm a single father of three trying to turn my life around. I'm concerned I will lose my chance to better not only my life but my children's lives due to lack of payment.

I am i senior at the Math Civics and Science Charter School in Philadelphia and i could really use this scholarship to help me further my education past the 12th grade, coming where im from its hard to make it to college because our families dont have the proper financial needs for the schools we would like to go to even if they are local.
