Scholarship Application Tips:

    1. DO NOT use your school district email address. You must use an email address which you will have access to now and throughout your years at college.
    2. If you forget your username and/or password, DO NOT START OVER. Contact the Foundation office at (814) 726-9553 or by email at cfwc@westpa.net and we will confirm your username and re-set your password. (Starting over and generating a new student ID will create a duplicate application which could result in scholarship opportunities being missed and requiring you to redo work you already completed on your original application.)
    1. Please provide accurate information about your home address and which high school you attend. This information could determine which scholarships you are eligible to receive.
    2. Please check all the scholarship checkboxes. Once you answer the Qualifying Questions our system will present a list of the scholarships you may be eligible for. Each scholarship will have a checkbox next to it – please check them all to avoid missing scholarship opportunities.

    3. Make sure the document you upload are readable. Check all images before submitting them. If we cannot get the information we need from the document or image, we will not be able to award a scholarship.

    4. Save your work as you progress through the sections of the scholarship application. Unsaved work will disappear and must be re-entered.
       
    5. Your final step is to SUBMIT your application. The “Submit” button will appear next to the “Generate .pdf” button when you have completed all the required steps.  If you do not see the “Submit” button, double check all parts of the application to see what is missing.  In many cases it is a result of an upload requirement not being completed. Questions? Call the Foundation Office at (814)726-9553.
    6. Contact the Foundation office with any questions you may have. Not sure how to proceed or you forgot your username or password, please call the Foundation office at (814) 726-9553, email lag.cfwc@westpa.net, or stop in the office at 310 Second Avenue in Warren. We are here to help you. We never want a student to miss out on scholarship opportunities so please contact us with questions or issues you may encounter.
