ycoming College has a long history of educating bright and talented
students who were first in their families to attend college. Identifying
and recruiting these students on a national level, however, requires deliberate
planning and strategic partnerships with charter school networks. In 2013,
Lycoming forged a partnership with the Knowledge is Power Program
(KIPP), a national network of premier charter schools. KIPP has provided a
strong pipeline of bright and talented students from across the country who
endeavor to receive a first-rate education in the liberal arts.
In response to Lycoming’s continued dedication to first-generation college
students, two Lycoming College trustees, Peter Lynn ’69 ’15H emeritus chair
of the board, and Marshall Welch III, have endowed a new KIPP Scholarship.
The scholarship will support students from KIPP schools, or similar charter
school programs, who have demonstrated significant academic promise, as
well as financial need.
L
We want to continue to forge
a partnership with an organization
that is dedicated to supporting
high school students,
especially those
growing up
in a challenging
environment,
so they can
achieve
their best.
