Applications Now Being Accepted For Sue Wiseman Scholarship
|
|
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is now accepting applications for the Sue Wiseman Scholarship, an annual $1,000 college scholarship that recognizes youth who have demonstrated leadership and shown exceptional commitment and dedication to improving their community.
Applications are due May 1.
The Sue Wiseman Scholarship is open to Pennsylvania high school seniors who have initiated and carried out a personal project that addresses one of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s focus areas of Prevent It (recycling, community greening, education presentations/workshops, littering/illegal dumping deterrents), Clean It (illegal dump cleanups, Great American Cleanup, International Coastal Cleanup, graffiti abatement, invasive plant removal), or Keep It (murals, plantings/beautification, displays/outreach).
The scholarship is named for Sue Wiseman, whose own commitment and dedication to a cleaner environment led to the founding of PA CleanWays in 1990, which is now Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, a statewide nonprofit organization whose mission is empowering Pennsylvanians to make their communities clean and beautiful.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful has facilitated 31,276 illegal dump cleanups resulting in the removal of 78,609,336 pounds of trash, 4,625,656 pounds of scrap metal and 78,609,336 tires statewide. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s community-based approach has involved more than 1,182,473 volunteers.
Application forms are available online or by calling the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful office at 877-772-3673.
