Ideal Applicant
Local educational actors—school districts, alumni/educational foundations, or student-scholarship intermediaries tied to the Shamokin area or Northumberland County—running or administering scholarship selection for high‑school seniors.
Good Fit
- • Operates a scholarship program or can administer a scholarship exam for high‑school seniors
- • Direct relationship or operational link to Shamokin Area School District or Northumberland County schools
- • Seeks relatively small one‑time awards (roughly $2.5K–$6.5K)
- • Clear, documentable candidate selection process that matches the foundation's stated restrictions
Geography
Giving is highly concentrated in one state: 87% of dollars went to Pennsylvania recipients despite grants recorded in four states, indicating a tightly local geographic focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 31 distinct recipients (one grant each), so many independent recipients were funded, but virtually all grants are scholarships to individuals—a narrow mission focus despite a broad recipient count.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of multi‑year turnover is unavailable because only one year is observed, but a documented application mechanism (scholarship exam administered via a named school district) plus a named contact suggest a clear but targeted entry route rather than an open national application process.
