Thanks to a donation from the Parker-Hannifin Foundation, this scholarship program was established in 2022 to recognize academic achievement, as well as a student’s accomplishments in the areas of service and leadership. 

Seven $500 scholarships will be awarded to deserving students from General McLane and Cambridge Springs high schools.  While not a requirement of the application, we especially encourage applications from those students who are pursuing an education in Erie or Crawford County.
