Past Scholarship Recipients
YCDFS initiated its scholarship assistance with the graduating class of 1997.Since that time, we have awarded 545 scholarships totaling $683,009. Past scholarships have ranged between $250 and $1,000 per scholarship recipient. Since 2003, all recipients have been eligible for multi-year scholarship support. YCDFS now offers up to four years of assistance.

These students have attended a host of two- and four-year institutions of higher education. The charts below list the colleges, universities, technical institutes, and related institutions entered by our recipients (figures reflect entrants through the 2005-2006 school year):

Scholarship Application Process
Each year, YCDFS accepts applications for scholarship support from high school seniors who reside in the City of York and who are attending William Penn High School, York County School of Technology, or York County High School. Scholarship applications can be obtained from the Guidance or College and Career Counseling Office at each of these schools.

Scholarship funds may be used at any post-secondary educational institution.

Scholarship recipients may be eligible for up to four years of scholarship assistance, provided that they make adequate annual progress toward program completion. YCDFS will provide guidelines and will make renewal applications available annually. The most recent applications for scholarships available on our “How Do I Get A Scholarship” page.
