CFTT Announces over $29,000 in Available Scholarships for Bradford County Graduating High School Students for the 2025 School Year
Sayre, PA— In 2024, more than $143,000 in scholarships were awarded to 63 local students across the five counties we serve: Bradford, Potter, Sullivan, and Tioga County in Pennsylvania, as well as Tioga County in New York. CFTT currently administers over 90 scholarship funds—and we’re growing.
Scholarships are available to high school seniors with plans to continue their post-secondary education by attending a four-year college or university, community college, or two-year trade or technical school. Because scholarship funds are established by individuals, families or organizations, each has specific criteria and requirements reflective of the donor’s standards and interests.
Scholarships play a vital role in supporting graduating seniors by providing them with the financial resources needed to pursue higher education and achieve their career goals. For many students, the cost of tuition, books, and living expenses can be a significant barrier, limiting their ability to attend college or vocational training programs. Scholarships help bridge this gap, making education more accessible and reducing the burden of student debt.
Beyond financial aid, scholarships also recognize and reward students for their hard work, dedication, and achievements, inspiring them to continue striving for excellence. By investing in the education of young people, scholarships strengthen the community, fostering a future workforce that is skilled, empowered, and equipped to give back.
