An interest was expressed at the 40th Class Reunion in creating a perpetual scholarship to be awarded to a Penncrest High School student at graduation.  It seems somewhat traditional to present a gift on such a momentous occasion, but it is also an opportunity to give something back to the school that most of us attended for six years.

The suggestion that we raise funds to create a Class of 1963 Scholarship was received positively, and we are going forward with plans to establish the fund.  The Penncrest High School Scholarship Foundation was incorporated in 2004.  This allows our contributions to the fund to be tax deductible.

For a perpetual annual scholarship of $1,000, we should raise at least $25,000.  This can be accomplished through one time contributions, or pledges that might take the full 10 years to complete.
