2023 Township Scholarship Information Now Available

The 2023 East Donegal Township Board of Supervisors Scholarship Program information, and application, is now available for pick-up at the Township Office, 190 Rock Point Road, or can be downloaded HERE.

Started in 2015, the program awards a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior currently attending Donegal High School, and a resident of East Donegal Township, that plans to further their education as a full-time student at an accredited junior college, college, university, or vocational school.  Award money is for one year only and for the purposes of tuition, books, and fees only.

A scholarship award selection considers (no priority given) field of study, character, scholastic record, involvement in community work, written recommendations and extracurricular activities of all applicants in determining the scholarship recipient.  Financial need is not an eligibility factor.

The application deadline is 4:00 PM April 13, 2023. Winners will be notified in writing by May 8, 2023 and will be invited to attend the Donegal School District’s Acedemic and Athletic Awards Program to be held on Monday, May 22, 2023.  The winner will also be asked to attend an East Donegal Township Board of Supervisors meeting and have their picture taken for the Township newsletter.

Scholarship awards will be paid directly to the school attended by the scholarship winner upon receipt of verification of enrollment at a college, university, or vocational school, successful completion of one semester of full-time enrollment and invoice of tuition for second semester of enrollment.

Employees and Board of Supervisors of East Donegal Township and their immediate family members are not eligible.

Board of Supervisors Vacancy

The resignation of Tom Jones has created a vacancy on the East Donegal Township Board of Supervisors. The Pennsylvania Second Class Township Code states that the remaining Supervisors shall appoint a successor to serve until the next Municipal Election in November of 2023. The Supervisors encourage any individuals interested in being appointed to the open position to make their interest known to the Supervisors by submitting a letter to the Township Office stating your interest and reason you feel you would be a positive addition to the Board, along with a resume. Time is of the essence as an appointment must be made by the Supervisors within a prescribed timeframe. You must be a registered elector (voter) and resident of the Township for at least one year. The Supervisors will consider the responses to this request and may request an interview in a public meeting.
