Chester and Delaware County Students to receive $85,000 scholarships


Qualified students from Widener University Child Development Center and the Nicholas School will receive scholarships totaling $85,000 through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program.

Since its inception, the foundation has been instrumental in distributing nearly $6 million in scholarships to families in need.

Also present will be Dennis Walsh, President of Bravo Foundation; Greg Martinio, President of AETNA; Dr. Noren Yoder, Director of the Widener Child Development Center; and Bobby Yodder, Nicholas School Representative.
