Scholarship News

We have donated over $2 million dollars to deserving students since the inception of our scholarship program, thanks to generous donations from former Southern graduates.

This year we have awarded 3 students scholarships totaling $20,000. These SPHS graduates  are attending Temple, Drexel, and  Universities. Thanks to alumni donations we are able to help Southern graduates every year. Below are  the names and bios of some of those students.
