New Hope-Solebury Graduate Awarded Community Partnership Scholarship

NEW HOPE, PA – A New Hope-Solebury High School graduate has been awarded a scholarship through the Foundations Community Partnership program.

School administrators and guidance counselors from every high school in Bucks County nominated students who best demonstrated a commitment to community service, preferably by volunteering their time at nonprofits serving Bucks County, academic performance, and quality of character.

“The commitment to community service and academic excellence of our local high school students is evident within our scholarship program,” said Tracy Pasternak Willis, FCP’s Board Chair. “Recognizing these outstanding student leaders serves as encouragement to all to work toward positive change in our communities.”

Receiving the foundation's $1,000 scholarship, co-sponsored by Penn Medicine Doylestown Health, is New Hope resident Joshua Bastean, a 2025 graduate of New Hope-Solebury High School. He will be attending the University of Michigan.

The scholarships were co-sponsored by the following organizations and individuals signaling their commitment to the community and FCP’s mission: Capital Health, First Bank, Connie Furman, Penn Community Bank, and Penn Medicine Doylestown Health.
