John H. Engelhardt Memorial Scholarship
The John H. Engelhardt Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 2019 in honor of Mr. John Engelhardt (“Mr. E”), who was a beloved teacher at Highland Elementary School for 35 years.
On the one-year anniversary of his passing, John's wife, Josephine (“Jo”), who was also a teacher in Abington Schools for decades, announced the creation of the scholarship for Abington Senior High School graduates who attended Highland Elementary. Special focus is given to students who have a financial need and/or those who have an interest in pursuing a future in Education. Recipients—who are selected by Mrs. Engelhardt and members of the Abington Senior High School Counseling Department—are awarded money to put toward the cost of tuition, room and board, technology, books, or any other school-related expenses.
​
With generous donations from Mrs. Engelhardt; family, friends, and former colleagues of John Engelhardt, and The Forst Foundation, the John H. Engelhardt Memorial Scholarship Fund has grown to $35,000.
