The Parkersburg Area Community Foundation and Regional Affiliates (PACF) is encouraging high school seniors and college students to apply for scholarships offered through the Foundation. Last year, the PACF awarded 312 scholarships totaling $627,874. These scholarship awards are made possible by many generous donors who’ve established scholarship funds with the Foundation to help our local students fulfill their educational goals. 

With over 150 scholarship funds available through a single consolidated application, this is a unique and easy opportunity for students to discover their eligibility for multiple scholarships. The application process is simple, convenient, and entirely online at www.pacfwv.com/scholarships/apply. The deadline to apply is February 28, 2025. 

Most scholarships offered through the Foundation are restricted to residents of the PACF's service area which includes Calhoun, Doddridge, Gilmer, Jackson, Mason, Pleasants, Ritchie, Roane, Wirt, and Wood in West Virginia, and Washington County in Ohio. There are some scholarships available from the PACF, however, that do accept applications from students outside of the 11-county service region.
