Wayne College Prep Academy Gets $33,600 Funding Boost

WAYNE, PA — A Wayne college prep academy is getting a funding boost thanks to State Rep. Melissa Shusterman.

Shusterman recently announced $33,681.15 in funding is being awarded to YSC Academy, Chester County Intermediate Unit 24, through the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Safe Schools Targeted grant program.

The money is part of $7.3 million in competitive grants that were awarded to schools statewide to prevent and reduce violent incidents, purchase safety and security-related equipment, and provide training and compensation of school resource and police officers.

"Ensuring the safety of our children is among my top priorities," Shusterman said. "A safe classroom is a successful classroom, so I’m confident that these funds will positively impact each student at YSC Academy."

YSC specializes in offering college-preparatory programs ideally suited for student-athletes motivated to realize their intellectual and athletic promise. Learn more about YSC Academy here.
