WILLIAMSPORT Pennsylvania College of Technology is committing $1.25 million in existing scholarships and $250,000 in new scholarships for incoming students in Fall 2021.
Eligible students may receive up to $5,000 scholarship awards through the initiative, known as the Kick Start Scholarship project. Part of the college’s plan to continue seeking the best and the brightest prospective students, the project is being launched during somewhat turbulent times to ensure that a Penn College degree is accessible to more students.
To be considered for a Kick Start Scholarship award, prospective students are being asked to submit a 30- to 60-second video that shares how the scholarship will help kick start their education at Penn College. The college is sharing the videos on its social media platforms.

About 20 years ago, Shelly Matter was a single mother of three school-age children and was having difficulty making ends meet. She looked around for jobs with more earning power and stability when she hit upon a career in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry, or HVAC.
She hasn’t looked back.
“I saw stability long term in an industry where there was career development,” says Matter, who is director of business development for HB McClure, a HVAC company based in York County. Her job involves expanding the territory for the company on the commercial side, while also getting involved with training and development of HB McClure’s workers, among other duties.
