We encourage your application. Thank
1. Provide a brief description of the program/project for which you are requesting funding.
The Pennsylvania College of Technology (Penn College) Foundation greatly appreciates the support for Penn College students through its long-standing partnership with the RPM Foundation (and its predecessor organizations). The Penn College Foundation respectfully requests a grant in the amount of $30,000 for annual scholarship funds to support students completing their certificate in Automotive Restoration. These scholarship funds will support six (6) students in the Automotive Restoration Certificate for the 2022-23 academic year. Students will enroll in this certificate from four paths: graduates of our Collision Repair Technology (A.A.S.), graduates of our Automotive Technology (A.A.S.), students enrolled in our Automotive Technology Management (B.S.), or as a stand-alone, oneyear program. Awards will be $5,000 of support and will be distributed as a $2,500 award in the fall semester and a $2,500 award in the spring semester.
2. Who will this grant help and how?
Scholarship funds will provide $5,000 of support to Automotive Restoration Technology students who: (1) Are enrolled full-time in Automotive Restoration (2) Have financial need, and (3) Have a minimum of 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale
3. How many students will benefit from your request, and what age range are they?
Upon full award, six (6) students completing Automotive Restoration will directly benefit from the scholarships. The estimated annual tuition at Penn College is nearly $30,000 for in-state and just over $37,000 for out-of-state students (Fall 2021: includes cost of books, tools and uniform). A variety of ages enroll because students have four tracks to complete the program: (1) One year, stand-alone Automotive Restoration certificate allowing high school graduates or incumbent workers seeking a career change, (2) Completion of the Collision Repair Technology (A.A.S.), (3) Completion of the Automotive Technology (A.A.S.), or (4) As a compliment to the Automotive Management Technology (B.S.)
