MILFORD, PA – With funding from Greater Pike Community Foundation, scholarships totaling over $16,000 are helping nine students attend pre-K programs in Milford.

Tuition assistance was awarded to the families of seven children at the Center for Developmental Disabilities, which helps defray the costs for summer or fall enrollment. Additionally, the families of two students enrolled at Green Trees Early Learning Center received tuition assistance.

“I’d like to thank Greater Pike Community Foundation for choosing my son James as the recipient of the pre-K summer camp scholarship,” said Lucia Schrag. “This thoughtful and generous gift allowed me to keep my full-time job and also gave my son the opportunity to have a fun and educational summer at CDD.”

Contributions from The Dime Bank and Highmark Life Insurance Company through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit program of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Department of Community and Economic Development made the scholarships possible.

“We are committed to improving educational outcomes for children throughout the state and believe in the value that will be provided through these contributions,” said Dan Onorato, EVP & chief corporate affairs officer, Highmark Health. “We are proud to continue our support of Pennsylvania’s EITC and OSTC programs to support students and families as they strive to live happier and healthier lives.”

Greater Pike helps individuals, families, and local businesses to provide a permanent and personal way to give back to the community.
