OUR FOCUS

 The Mon Valley Community Foundation is requesting a tax deductible donation to support students from the Mon Valley to further their education after high school. These students, who have completed a needs based and academic merit application, historically use this scholarship to augment higher education or entry into vocational educational programs.
Our Scholarship program invites applicants from the following nine school districts in the Mon Yough Valley:
​
  • Clairton City
  • East Allegheny
  • Elizabeth Forward
  • McKeesport Area
  • South Allegheny
  • Steel Valley
  • West Jefferson Hills
  • West Mifflin Area
  • Woodlands Hills

OUR DONATION REQUEST

MVCF has awarded 15 scholarships over the past 5 years and with our new mission of solely focusing on the educational needs of our local students, we know that these scholarships fill an important role in furthering the scholastic efforts of these deserving students. Your contribution will aid these scholars in their quest for higher education.

Thank you for thinking of the Mon Valley Community Foundation for your scholarship donation.

Thank you for
​your support.
