Cleaveland/Price Inc

Cleaveland/Price Inc supports postsecondary education for students in western Pennsylvania through a targeted scholarship program tied closely to the company’s workforce-oriented fields. Its Cleaveland/Price Inc. Scholarship serves current high school seniors in the Penn Trafford, Norwin, Gateway, Franklin Regional, Greensburg Salem, Hempfield, and Jeannette school districts who intend to continue into full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school. The program focuses on students pursuing engineering as well as machine technology or machinist certificates and degrees, linking educational support to technical and industrial career pathways. The company’s scholarship structure is specific and differentiated. Up to three one-time awards are granted each cycle, ranging from $2,500 to $5,000. The Charles M. Cleaveland Scholarship provides one $5,000 award to the highest-ranked applicant pursuing an engineering degree, while the Peter M. Kowalik Scholarship provides two $2,500 awards to the highest-ranked applicants pursuing machine technology or machinist study. Awards are designated for undergraduate education and may be used for any education-related expenses. Cleaveland/Price Inc’s program emphasizes merit and student achievement rather than financial need. Recipients are selected based on academic performance, leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience, a statement of educational and career goals, and unusual personal or family circumstances. For the 2026 cycle, applications are open until June 2, 2026 at 3:00 PM CT, applicants are notified in July, and scholarship payments are made in August. The program’s geographic reach, named awards, and concentration on engineering and machinist training show an organization investing in both college access and the development of skilled technical talent in Pennsylvania.
