Philadelphia launches a history scholarship program for students and teachers as part of the nation’s 250th celebrations – Apply by Dec 5
Posted by WHYY on November 25, 2025
A new history and civics program is taking shape inside one of Philadelphia’s most storied buildings, and educators say it could change how students see their city and themselves. This scholarship encourages classrooms to conduct research and dive into civic learning.
The Young Philadelphians Continental Congress will bring high school students and teachers together for a scholarship program, beginning in January. The program is specifically designed for Philadelphia public schools and created through a partnership between the School District of Philadelphia and Carpenters’ Hall, the site of the nation’s First Continental Congress in 1774.
Applications are being accepted through December 5, 2025.
