PA Scholarship Opportunity for Employees Seeking Bachelor Degrees We value your participation in DelVal’s Educational Partnership Program (DelVal EPP). Through the program, your employees may pursue part-time undergraduate studies in 29 academic majors. What’s more, your DelVal EPP tuition discount can be applied to most undergraduate degree majors.

New Scholarship Program Available to PA Residents A new scholarship program, called the Grow PA Scholarship Grant Program, will be available starting in fall 2025. Administered by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), the scholarship is available to PA residents who are pursuing an approved course of study and who choose to live and work in PA upon graduation.

As a regional employer, this scholarship program may help to increase employee retention as students must commit to working in PA in an in-demand occupation for a number of years equal to the number of years the grant is received. For example, a student who receives a Grow PA Scholarship Grant for 3 years is obligated to 3 years of work in PA in an in-demand occupation.

The good news? DelVal’s many academic majors are included on Grow PA Scholarship Grant Program’s list of approved studies. You can view the list on this page as well as application and program details.

WHY BE A SPONSOR! Make an impact on your business while supporting the Central Bucks Chamber.

• Increase Visibility and Brand Recognition • Connect with businesses and potential customers through Networking Opportunities • Enhance your company’s Credibility and Trust • Demonstrate your commitment to the Community

Is a Registered Apprenticeship Program a Good Fit for Your Business?

Employers indicate that one of the most common challenges in the labor market is identifying skilled workers. A Registered Apprenticeship addresses that hurdle by combining on-the-job learning with job-related instruction to train full-time employees at any level in the company.

PA CareerLink® Bucks County has taken the lead in providing resources and guidance to businesses interested in developing a Registered Apprenticeship program. Companies can learn about guidelines, funding and recruiting support, group sponsorships and more at buckscounty.gov/1756/Apprenticeship.

For more information, contact Bucks County Regional Apprenticeship Manager Adina Tayar, atayar@edsi.com, 267-580-3501.

With thanks and regards, Ellen Langas For Bucks County Registered Apprenticeship

Her petals carry purpose.

Rose has been featured on a magazine cover and a podcast, and is a bestselling co-author alongside psychologists, psychiatrists, and holistic healers in the spiritual wellness community.
