The Princeton Area Community Foundation has awarded more than $90,000 in scholarships to area high school and college students.
The Community Foundation awarded $40,550 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors, and renewed another $52,100 in scholarships for college students who will be returning to class in the Fall.
“We want to thank our generous donors who have created scholarship funds, which allow us to help these outstanding students,” said Jeffrey M. Vega, President & CEO of the Community Foundation. “We also want to congratulate the students on their achievements and wish them success as they continue their education.”
In addition to the more than $90,000 in scholarships, another $5,000 was awarded through the Thomas George Artist Fund Award to Cara Giddens, who recently completed her studies at The College of New Jersey.
