In this day and age, financial literacy is crucial to leading a stable and comfortable life.
Unfortunately, many young people are never taught how to take charge of their finances, budget responsibly, and make their money work for them. Seeking out this knowledge on one’s own can be overwhelming, and it can be difficult to put in the time and effort to find reliable financial advice and to use it effectively.
This scholarship seeks to reward students for making the effort to learn more about their finances and become more financially literate.
Any high school senior at Jefferson Morgan High School in PA who is on a journey to financial literacy may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us about the best money lesson you have learned so far while learning about your finances.
What is the best money lesson you've received in your journey to become financially literate?

The winner will be publicly announced on Jun 24, 2024. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application. We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
