Education Foundation

MAKE NO SMALL PLANS, DREAM NO SMALL DREAMS

The Lampeter-Strasburg Educational Foundation is a non-profit organization designed exclusively to provide financial assistance to graduates of Lampeter-Strasburg High School who continue their education at an institution of higher learning. All donations are tax deductible.

In 1994, a committee of community volunteers met to establish a permanent organization which would have but one goal - to help worthy graduates of L-S pursue their dreams of higher education. The Lampeter-Strasburg Educational Foundation was founded. Funds were solicited throughout the community, and over $126,000 was raised initially to be granted as loans to our graduates. In recent years, the Foundation has also received donations to be used as scholarships.

Contributors

Loan program - All contributions are welcome and will help to fund low-interest loans to Lampeter-Strasburg students seeking higher education. Awarded loans are $2,500 per year for up to four years of education.

Scholarships - All contributions are welcome as the Foundation looks to the future to create additional scholarships for Lampeter-Strasburg students. Guidelines would be set up by the Foundation.

Endowed Scholarships - Endowment scholarships may be set up as follows (if interest rates return to an average of 4%):

• A pledge of $12,500 will support a $500 annual scholarship
• A pledge of $25,000 will support a $1,000 annual scholarship

Note: If desired, your commitment for an endowment scholarship may be satisfied over a pre-determined payment schedule (not to exceed four years). L-SEF would like to meet with you to address any necessary paperwork and design a scholarship befitting your investment. Our Foundation will work with you to plan the details of your contribution and ensure that your needs are met.
