Every spring, FCP send nomination instructions to the guidance department in each Bucks County public, technical, and charter high school. Each scholarship recipient demonstrates a commitment to community service and academic excellence, as well as quality of character. Recipients are recognized as part of each high school’s awards ceremony. Proceeds of the award may only be used for educational purposes, including payment of college tuition, books, and related expenses.
Scholarships
The Partnership in Education Program recognizes the achievements of Bucks County public, technical, and charter high school seniors for their demonstrated community service, preferably by volunteering their time at nonprofits serving Bucks County, commitment to academic excellence, and quality of character. Preference may be given to students with demonstrated financial need.
