Explore Our Rivers and Lakes with Safe Boating

Waterways in our area and across the commonwealth provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy boating.  

During National Safe Boating Week, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission offers a checklist of basic safety guidelines including:

• Always wear a life jacket.
• Never boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Have a float plan to let someone know when and where you will be boating.
• Check the weather forecast for storms and high-water conditions.
• Take a Boating Safety Education Course.

For more information on safe boating, to take a Boating Safety Education Course and to purchase launch permits, boat registration renewals and fishing licenses, visit the commission’s boating webpage.

New Medical and Health Professional Loan Opportunities

The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency has launched a new Medical and Health Professional Loan Program to support graduate students in medical, dental, veterinarian and health professional studies.

The program features deferred repayment during residency, fellowship, internship, research and other clinical training, and the potential for reduced reliance on co-signers. This initiative helps fill critical, specialized positions to serve citizens across the commonwealth.

Medical students can apply here. Other health-related students can apply here.

Students pursuing advanced degrees in other areas of study can apply here.

Local Groups Can Apply for Watershed Restoration Grants

Local governments, schools, nonprofits, watershed groups and other organizations have until June 22 to apply for Growing Greener Plus grants to help fund local projects that fix flooding problems and restore watersheds.

Growing Greener Plus helps cover the cost of watershed protection, surface mining conservation and reclamation, and stormwater management planning.

All proposals will be competitively reviewed for eligibility, environmental benefits and other criteria. Organizations can access eligibility guidelines and applications here.

Honoring Those Who Gave All

Memorial Day is a time to pause as a nation and honor the memory of Americans who left their hometowns and laid down their lives in service to our country.
