(WKBN) — As part of a statewide effort to reduce underage drinking, Penn State University, Shenango and Mohawk School District were both the recipients of Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board grants.

Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) announced Wednesday it will award more than $3.3 million to schools and various organizations through the 2024-26 Alcohol Education Grant Program.

Penn State’s Shenango campus in Lawrence County was awarded $6,380 for virtual reality equipment, a Stop It driving simulator, and the Fresh Check Day program.

Mohawk School District was awarded $44,000 for enforcement patrols, school resource officer education programs, and PLCB’s alcohol education conference.

PLCB says it is all part of its commitment to provide financial support to reduce underage and dangerous alcohol consumption.
