From TribLive:
The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh said affiliated nonprofits have dedicated more than $500,000 over four years to help students living in HACP housing with college tuition.
HACP’s nonprofit affiliate Clean Slate E3 and its partner organization NEED are offering scholarships to 23 new recipients and nine returning students. The group of 32 students is the largest in the scholarship program’s 13-year history.
The scholarship initiative launched in 2009. Since, Clean Slate E3 has partnered with Pittsburgh-based nonprofit NEED to grant scholarships to 159 students living in HACP housing.
Students who benefit from the scholarship program each receive $4,000 a year from Clean Slate E3 and $1,000 a year from NEED, for a total of $5,000 annually per student. Students can receive the annual scholarship for up to four years.
