Scholarship Opportunities 

Lola G. Duff and William H. Duff, II Scholarship Fund
This $80 million fund has college scholarships for Allegheny County, Pa. residents. Students must be Protestant, have two years of schooling in Allegheny County (either public, private, or home), and must be planning to attend college full time. Applications available online in February.

The Pittsburgh Promise
This scholarship is available to graduates of Pittsburgh Public Schools and charters, regardless of financial need or income, who have been students in the district and a resident of Pittsburgh continuously since at least the 9th grade. Students must also graduate with a minimum 2.5 GPA, have a 90% attendance record, and earn admission into Grove City College.

Hagan Scholarships
The Hagan Scholarships are intended for high achieving students in need of financial assistance in order to attend college. Recipients must graduate from a public high school located in an eligible state and in a county having fewer than 50,000 residents.

Community Foundation of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio Scholarships
This foundation offers a number of competitive scholarships that are available to residents of the Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio region.

Throckmorton Foundation Scholarship
This competitive scholarship is available to African-American and Native-American students from Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Grove City College admissions application and subsequent admission to the College enables eligibility for this scholarship.
 
UNCF/Koch Foundation Scholarship
Supported by a $25 million gift from the Charles Koch Foundation and Koch Industries, the UNCF/Koch Scholars Program offers African-American students financial assistance, academic and business mentoring, and networking opportunities both online and at an annual summit. UNCF/Koch scholars study how principled entrepreneurship™, innovation, and economic thinking contribute to the well-being of individuals, communities, and society.
 

Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholarship
This scholarship rewards excellence by supporting high-achieving high school seniors who seek to attend the nation's best four-year colleges and universities and have financial need.

Bill Knecht Tourism Scholarship Application
This memorial scholarship fund provides one $1,000 scholarship each year to a sophomore, junior or senior of Grove City College, Penn State – Shenango, or Thiel College who is pursuing a tourism-related major such as marketing, recreation, hotel management, etc. This would also include students in business management and business administration. The student must be a resident of Mercer County and a U.S. citizen.

II-VI Foundation Scholarships
The II-VI scholarships are competitive scholarships available to students entering the fields of engineering, math, and science. Scholarship opportunities are directed toward students pursuing degrees in electrical, industrial, chemical, nuclear, mechanical, material science engineering, and related engineering and science disciplines. Mathematics majors are welcome to apply, however pre-med candidates, civil engineers, architectural engineers, or petroleum engineers are not eligible for consideration. The scholarship is available only to rising freshmen, sophomores, and juniors and is renewable.

A unique aspect of the II-VI Foundation Scholarship is the requirement of nine weeks or 360 hours of manufacturing-, engineering- or science-related experience in an industrial setting from October 1 to August 31 of the year in which the candidate applies for the scholarship. This requirement forces candidates to get hands-on, real-world experience outside of an academic setting, therefore creating a different perspective from which to view their career decisions.
