PVE Awards Scholarships
The Scholarship Committee offers limited financial assistance through scholarship grants to selected PVE employees seeking certificates of completion, credentials or degrees. The scholarships are solely funded by the tax-deductible donations of PVE residents. Since 2004, we have awarded 98 scholarships totaling about $131,400. Grants are made twice a year, once for the spring term and once for the fall term.
We at PVE are fortunate to have a wonderful group of employees who demonstrate a great work ethic and certainly make our lives easier. One way we can show our gratitude is by donating to the scholarship fund. Donations can be made by check to the PVE Scholarship Fund or by a one-time or monthly charge to your account. Forms are available at the front desk of the Community Center.

- Manpreet Bahia, a certified nursing assistant at Laurel Creek who is studying to become a registered nurse.
