Doylestown, PA (June 27, 2025) – Foundations Community Partnership (FCP) annually recognizes and celebrates the achievements of Bucks County high school students. In collaboration with each of the County’s public, technical, and charter high schools, FCP is delighted to announce its 2025 scholarship recipients. School administrators and guidance counselors from every high school nominated students who best demonstrated a commitment to community service, preferably by volunteering their time at nonprofits serving Bucks County, academic performance, and quality of character. Further, the following organizations and individual proudly co-sponsored select scholarships signaling their commitment to the community and FCP’s mission: Capital Health, First Bank, Connie Furman, Penn Community Bank, and Penn Medicine Doylestown Health.

 

“The commitment to community service and academic excellence of our local high school students is evident within our scholarship program,” said Tracy Pasternak Willis, FCP’s Board Chair. “Recognizing these outstanding student leaders serves as encouragement to all to work toward positive change in our communities.”
