The PGSF Board of Directors recently approved $430,000 to be awarded for scholarships in the 2015–2016 academic years. Approximately two hundred college students attending 83 schools are receiving financial assistance through PGSF each year. However, many more deserving scholarship applicants are turned down due to lack of funds. For more information regarding tax-advantaged contributions, establishing a scholarship through PGSF, or scholarship applications, contact Bernie Eckert, PGSF program administrator, at 724-553-4028 or bernie.eckert@pgsf.org.  You can also visit www.pgsf.org.
