DUBOIS – Clearfield Bank & Trust Company has made an additional gift of $5,000 to its scholarship at Penn State DuBois.
The bank has pledged to make annual contributions to the fund, which will be distributed in its entirety to qualifying students each year.
This scholarship provides recognition and financial assistance to outstanding undergraduate students enrolled or planning to enroll at Penn State DuBois who have superior academic records and a need for funds to help cover their college expenses.
In an effort to support those in Clearfield Bank & Trust’s immediate area, students from Bedford, Blair, Centre, Clearfield, or Huntingdon counties will be given first preference.
Each year, more than $350,000 in scholarship dollars is awarded to Penn State DuBois students through more than 50 individual scholarship funds. The scholarships established through the generosity of donors, with the assistance of the campus’ Office of Development, help to assure an affordable and accessible education remains in reach for area students.
