Happy Election Day! 🗳️ During Community Weekend 2024, PA Youth Vote joined us at our Civic Engagement Fair to talk about the power of voting and help Scholars register. Today’s the day to put those lessons into action—if you’re eligible, make sure to cast your vote! Your voice matters, and every vote makes a difference.
About us
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.

✨Scholar Spotlight✨ 2024 Lenfest Scholar Kimberly Esquivias, Biglerville High School Meet Kimberly, a kind-hearted and determined first-generation Mexican-American who’s passionate about music and dreams of becoming an inspiring teacher. “Being a first-generation student means having the support of family, and now, the Lenfest community—people who are just as invested in my education as I am,” Kimberly shares. Introduced to Lenfest by her college advisor, Ms. Riley, Kimberly’s determination and dedication helped her earn her place as a Lenfest Scholar. Kimberly is motivated by her goal of becoming a role model for students facing similar challenges, showing them that, even when things seem impossible, it is possible!
