Financial Aid & Scholarships

The Peters Township community, Washington County and the state of Pennsylvania provide many scholarship opportunities for our students on an annual basis. Sponsors contact the Counseling department each year with updated selection criteria, applications, due dates and submission instructions. As information and materials are received, the "Scholarship Search" page in Naviance will be updated. In order to help defray the costs of college, it is important for students to check this page often, especially during senior year. 

To find local scholarships in Naviance: Log into your Naviance Student account by using Clever. Click on the "Colleges" tab from the home page, and once the drop down menu appears, under "Scholarships & Money", click "Scholarship Search".

Scholarship Deadlines & Transcripts

Many scholarships will require a transcript in addition to the application. Students must complete the scholarship transcript form in the Counseling office and submit it to the counseling department secretaries at least three days prior to the deadline. This procedure ensures that scholarship applications requiring official school documents are processed accurately and in a timely manner.

Please consider the following for scholarship applications that require an official transcript and/or counselor evaluation/written evaluation:

• Be aware of deadlines. Some applications may state “post-marked” while others must be submitted by a specific due date. It may take several days for your request to be fulfilled depending upon the evaluation form & written evaluation requirements. It is important that the student read the scholarships' instructions carefully and plan accordingly.  
• In the case that scholarship sponsors prefer the PTHS counseling office to collect the applications and pre-screen applicants, the scholarship may indicate an earlier submission date to the Counseling office. A pre-selected scholarship committee made up of PTHS employees will follow the criteria outlined by the sponsor that may include selecting one nominee to represent PTHS. Once a candidate has been selected, they will be notified by their counselor and their name will be submitted to the scholarship sponsors for consideration.
