PNCWA Scholarship Program
Make a tax deductible donation to the PNCWA Scholarship fund.
The initial PNCWA scholarship was awarded in 2010 ($1500) and was followed in 2011 with three $1500 scholarships awarded. Thanks to the generous support of PNCWA members, the recently established PNCWA Scholarship fund now exceeds $10,000. As promised, we will use these funds to expand our scholarship offerings while building the scholarship fund.
A total of $4,500 PNCWA Environmental Stewardship Scholarships were granted in 2012 for a total of $10,500 awarded since the scholarship fund’s inception in 2010.
If individuals, families or companies are interested in setting up/funding an ongoing named scholarship (memorial, in honor of, corporate) please contact the PNCWA office.
