History
PUSH Beaver County’s early years have always included scholarship. With a deep-held belief in the basic fundamental that education of our young people will lead us into the future, we made a commitment to providing scholarships to students attending higher institutions of learning in Beaver County. Our inaugural year was 2007. Since then, PUSH has provided over $50,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors within Beaver County. When the program started, one student from each district was eligible to win a scholarship. Students applying wrote an essay under 500 words. The latest iteration of the scholarship program allows multiple students from each district to apply, with all students competing for one of the four $1,000 scholarships available.
In 2020, Beaver County BOOM! added a JROTC Scholarship for $1,000 to a graduating senior, building on our current program. The essay subject matter and length have changed, but the goal is consistent – providing financial assistance to those furthering their educations within the county.
