William J. McMannis and A. Haskell McMannis Educational Trust directs educational support to students from Pennsylvania through a renewable scholarship program built around financial need and undergraduate study. Its work centers on helping Pennsylvania high school seniors, graduates, and current post-secondary undergraduates continue their education in full-time programs at accredited two-year colleges, four-year universities, and vocational-technical schools. The trust’s scholarship structure reaches students across multiple postsecondary pathways rather than a single type of institution, including community or technical colleges and trade schools.
A defining feature of the trust’s support is the William J. McMannis and A. Haskell McMannis Educational Trust scholarship, which offers up to 30 renewable awards ranging from an estimated $2,000 to $5,000. Awards are available for undergraduate study only and may be renewed for up to three additional years, or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever comes first, provided the student maintains satisfactory academic performance in a full-time course of study and the program continues. Awards are capped at the total cost of tuition, fees, books, and supplies.
