• The Pennsylvania Governor’s School for the Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University is now accepting applications from talented high school juniors for the summer 2015 program.  If you are interested in this or any of the Governor’s Schools please stop by guidance for more information.
• The Fire Chiefs Association of Westmoreland County will award two, two hundred and fifty dollar scholarships to a Westmoreland County Firefighter or a relative of a Westmoreland County Fire fighter.

• The Constance T. Rockwell Scholarship Program is an award of four thousand dollars that will be given to a student based on talent, financial need  and scholastic merit. Candidates  must be  attending an accredited college or conservatory that offers a four year program with an audition.
