ALLEGHENY FOOTHILLS HISTORICAL SOCIETY
ESTABLISHES SCHOLARSHIP FOR
PLUM HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

In 2006, the Allegheny Foothills Historical Society (AFHS) established the Eleanor Carpenter Broome memorial scholarship for the students in the Senior Class of Plum High School. The annual scholarship provides college-bound graduating seniors an opportunity to be awarded $300 toward tuition, books and supplies, or other collegerelated expenses.

To qualify for the scholarship, members of the Senior Class of Plum High School must complete five (5) hours of community service activities supporting AFHS. Students can choose from a diverse list of AFHS community service activities that include:

  • Volunteering at the Oliver M. Thompson History Room in the Plum Community Library
  • Serving as a tour guide at the Carpenter Log House on any Sunday during the summer schedule
  • Participation in the annual spring house cleaning activities at the Carpenter Log House
  • Preparation of materials for placement on the AFHS website, PlumHistory.org
  • Preparation of articles for placement in the AFHS newsletter
  • Volunteering and assisting with the annual golf event fundraiser

Upon completion of the five (5) hours of AFHS community service, the students willthen be required to submit a list of the activities they participated in, and a brief summary of their learning experience. All written submissions must be sent to Susan Broome at Susan@TheSavvyGroup.com.

Winners will be chosen during the month of May, and a scholarship presentation will take place at the Oliver M. Thompson History Room, in the Plum Community Library. Winners will be notified by email.

Please contact Susan Broome to discuss your participation, or with any questions, 412-508-5979, or Susan@TheSavvyGroup.com.
