(November 15, 2019) — November is National Scholarship Month, as established in 1998 by Scholarship America (formerly, Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of America). Each year, this annual designation encourages seniors (and some juniors, depending on the scholarship) to get organized and apply for as many scholarships as possible to help them pay for higher education.
The National Propane Gas Foundation (NPGF) Scholarship Fund is also now accepting applications for students who will be attending college or technical school in the 2020/21 academic year.
In 1993, a committed group of energized volunteers from within the propane industry, in conjunction with the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA), established a scholarship foundation. Its purpose is to foster educational opportunities for the children of National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) member companies by offering scholarships to colleges or vocational/technical/trade schools. The fund provides nonrenewable scholarships in the amounts of $1,000 and $2,000.
Continuing in the 2020/2021 academic year, NPGF is again offering $1,000 scholarships solely to applicants attending an accredited trade, technical or vocational school pursuing one of following propane-related occupations: Commercial Truck Driver, Electrician, Gas Fitter, HVAC Technician, Pipe Fitter or Plumber.

Scholarships are funded from Scholarship Fund endowments earmarked for that purpose and managed by the NPGF. The first scholarships were awarded in 1994.
The submission deadline is February 15, 2020. Successful applicants will be notified at the end of May. For high school seniors, SAT or ACT test scores are required or an explanation of why no test was taken. Official transcripts are needed for all applications. This aid is for undergraduate study only. Applicants also submit with their parent’s approval, family financial information on the application.
If you have any questions, contact Lori Dec or 202-355-1328 or visit the NPGF Scholarship page.
