About Lenfest Scholars Foundation

Since 2002 the Lenfest College Scholarship Program (LCSP) has helped talented rural students from our partner high schools in south-central Pennsylvania to enroll and succeed in college. Our Scholars receive college scholarships, assistance in applying for college admission and financial aid, and advice and support throughout their college years. In 2014, the Lenfest Scholars Foundation (LSF) was created to administer the program. With the success of the LCSP in identifying outstanding Scholars and the Scholars’ success in gaining admission to excellent colleges, the mission of the program has broadened. This expanded mission includes more extensive advice and support through the time Scholars are in college; offering financial assistance to Scholars with internships, counseling Scholars about pre- and post-college plans; standardized test prep; and helping partner high schools improve their service to college-bound students. The foundation now works with 23 partner high schools and supports over 140 students currently in college, 50 new high school Scholars, each year, and over 300 alumni.
