Grant To Provide $100K For Pittsburgh Scholarship Program

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Gov. Tom Wolf has announced the approval of $100,000 in funding for a Pittsburgh scholarship program.

The money will provide 86 scholarships to high school graduates in Pittsburgh public schools through a Pittsburgh Promise project.
