Foundations Community Partnership (FCP) annually recognizes and celebrates the achievements of Bucks County high school students. In collaboration with each of the County’s 19 public high schools, FCP is delighted to announce the 2024 Partnership in Education Scholarship recipients. School administrators and guidance counselors from every Bucks County public and technical high school nominated students who best demonstrated a commitment to community service, academic performance, and quality of character. Further, the following organizations and individual proudly co-sponsored select scholarships signaling their commitment to the community and FCP’s mission: Capital Health, Doylestown Health, First Bank, Connie Furman, Grand View Health, Penn Community Bank, and Traffic Planning and Design, Inc.
“The commitment to community service and academic excellence of our local high school students is evident within our scholarship program,” said Tracy Pasternak Willis, FCP’s Board Chair. “Recognizing these outstanding student leaders serves as encouragement to all to work toward positive change in our communities.”
