Spring Telethon Hopes to Raise $10,000

Don't hang up. please! Our student callers will be getting in

touch with you in April. If you have not already made a gift to

this year's Lycoming Annual Fund, they will ask you for your

support. It's a wonderful opportunity to talk to a current Lycoming student. For those of you not home, an appeal for your support will be sent by mail. The fund must raise $675,000

for student financial aid. Your money spent here has a real future, supporting the education of the leaders, doers, and thinkers of tomorrow.

Wanted: 300 Scholarships

Lycoming College has been successful in recruiting some of the best and brightest students across 18 states and 12 foreign countries. We select students on their merit, not their ability to

pay. This makes it ever more important that we have enough

endowed scholarships to make a Lycoming College education a possibility

Increasing the number of scholarships at Lycoming College

must be a top priority. It is our goal to establish 300 fully endowed scholarships over the next several years. The minimum amount required to fund an endowed scholar-

ship is $25,000. At this level, the student would receive

approximately $ 1 .000 per year. You can fund a scholarship over a period of three years using cash and/or appreciated securities.
