Keep PA Beautiful Sue Wiseman Student Scholarship Applications Due May 1
|
|
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is now accepting applications for the Sue Wiseman Scholarship, an annual $1,000 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.
For applications and more information, visit the KPB Sue Wiseman Scholarship webpage or the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful office at 877-772-3673.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful has facilitated 35,701 litter and illegal dump cleanups resulting in the removal of 86,897,316 pounds of trash, 4,930,956 pounds of scrap metal and 576,264 tires statewide. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s community-based approach has involved 1,347,786 volunteers.
