The mayor of a township in Bucks County is working to offer scholarships to local students in an effort to better their education.
The Joseph DiGirolamo Scholarship Foundation is offering scholarship opportunities to local students in need of financial aid for college. The organization is overseen by Joseph DiGirolamo, the Mayor of Bensalem Township, who founded it to help local students looking to further their educations.
The application run from now until April 24. Of all those who apply, five to seven students will be awarded $2000 to go towards their education.
“The selection process will be made by no less that two members of the foundation committee from applications received from Bensalem residents graduating from the 12th grade,” organizers of the scholarship said online.
“Students must enroll in at least a two (2) year full time day course in a school above the secondary level. Students must demonstrate qualities of leadership, good citizenship and scholastic ability.”
