Financial Aid Resources

  • The Pennsbury Scholarship Foundation has assembled the following resources to help Pennsbury students and their parents learn more about other financial aid available to Pennsbury High School graduates. The following links also point toward grants and loans sponsored by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the federal government. In addition to information about specific scholarship and loan programs, we've listed some sources of general information about higher education, about applying for loans and where to get information from other state agencies. 

    Pennsbury High School Guidance Department

    The Pennsbury High School guidance office has information about scholarships available for graduating seniors. Students who are interested in or qualify for a specific scholarship listed in the guidance office should jot down the number(s) of the scholarships that interest them and ask a guidance counselor for more information about the numbered scholarships.

    All Pennsbury High School seniors are urged to apply for a scholarship from the Pennsbury Scholarship Foundation. 

    Junior-level students should make a note of all scholarships that fit their personal interests and profile and are encouraged to contact the high school guidance office very early in the fall semester of their senior year to check on the availability of grants. There is no guarantee, however, that the scholarships listed below will be repeated in future years.
