Past Scholarship Recipients
YCDFS initiated its scholarship assistance with the graduating class of 1997.Since that time, we have awarded 692 scholarships totaling $724,651. Past scholarships have ranged between $250 and $1,000 per scholarship recipient.

Our scholarship recipients 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 2008-2009 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.

Due to recent economic conditions, we must limit our scholarship assistance to “first year” assistance – funds to graduating seniors who are about to enter post-secondary education. This limitation does not apply to graduates who have completed the YORK CITY SCHOLARS program. These students are eligible for four years of scholarship assistance. Post high-school scholarship applications for York City Scholars are available on our“How Do I Get A Scholarship” page.
