The Community Foundation for the Alleghenies is an approved PATH Partner through the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA).  Students who receive scholarships from approved PATH partners, such as the Community Foundation, and will attend college in Pennsylvania, may be eligible to receive additional scholarship funds from the PATH program. As an approved PATH partner, we provide the necessary information to PHEAA for potential PATH match consideration. You do not need take any action. However, if you receive a PATH scholarship, it will be noted on your tuition bill throughout the year.

We mail most scholarship checks in early to mid-August.

You can send thank you letters to the following address and they will be forwarded to the donors who have made your scholarship possible:
