19 Students Awarded Scholarships

The Pennsylvania Youth Foundation committee selected 19 students to receive $27,400 in awards in this year's competitive scholarship program. The committee carefully considered nearly 200 applicants, taking into account academics, financial need, Masonic relationship, youth group participation, and the civic activity of each student.

"There were many deserving students, and it was a difficult decision to choose just a few from them," said Thomas R. Labagh, Executive Director of P.Y.F. "Your contributions to the 'PYF Educational Endowment Fund' will help to provide for the presentation of more awards for many years to come."
