America250PA recently announced the launch of the Semiquincentennial Scholarship Program, awarding $250,000 in scholarships to deserving Pennsylvania high school seniors entering in-state colleges and universities for the 2026-2027 academic year.
The program will provide 25 $10,000 scholarships, distributed across America250PA’s six designated regions. Up to 12 scholarships will be awarded to Pennsylvania community colleges, and up to 13 scholarships will support students attending other accredited post-secondary colleges and universities in the Commonwealth
Scholarship recipients will be selected based on a demonstrated understanding of civic values as Pennsylvania prepares to mark 250 years of American independence in 2026. Awards will be made in April 2026.
The Semiquincentennial Scholarship Program is made possible in part through the support of Pennsylvania’s colleges, universities and community partners who have pledged to match America250PA’s investment, amplifying its impact for students across the Commonwealth
