(Gettysburg, PA, 5/10/19) The Adams County Community Foundation (the Community Foundation) today announced $122,800 in scholarship awards to 86 Adams County students. The amount awarded brings the total amount of scholarships granted by the Community Foundation since its founding to more than nine hundred thousand dollars thanks to several scholarships funded by private donors and Adams Electric Cooperative.
The awards were announced at the Community Foundation’s first scholarship celebration at the Wyndham Hotel, an event generously sponsored by the Robert C. Hoffman Charitable Endowment Trust, at which the featured speaker for the gathering of students, their families and scholarship donors was Gettysburg College President, Dr. Janet Morgan Riggs.
Riggs, the 14th President of Gettysburg College, encouraged the students to challenge themselves academically and use their time to experience new areas of study. She reminded them that their education path includes many people who care about their continued success, including the scholarship donors they met with today.
“Our Scholarship Committee, led by board member Emily Rice-Townsend, does an outstanding job matching our donor’s charitable intent to worthy students to provide scholarships for college and technical training.” noted Community Foundation President and CEO Ralph Serpe. “We are thrilled to have the Robert C. Hoffman Charitable Endowment Trust partner with us to celebrate these wonderful students as they prepare to embark on their college and technical careers, and to acknowledge the generous donors who help make it all possible.”
Awards from forty scholarship funds at the Community Foundation range from $500 to $20,000 each and go to students planning to pursue or currently pursuing higher education.
