Some would have you believe that money makes the world go ’round. The Lancaster County Career & Technology Foundation (LCCTF) is of the opinion that young people need money - or scholarships and grants - to make money. “Scholarships and workforce grants are investments in students’ futures,” said Jennifer Baker, who’s been the executive director of LCCTF for seven years. “They help students complete their education, enter the workforce with valuable skills and credentials, and pursue careers that offer long-term stability, growth and opportunity. Scholarships and workforce grants help remove financial barriers so students can access education, training, equipment and certifications needed to prepare for successful careers in high-demand fields.” Recently, LCCTF distributed a total of $87,000 - $46,500 in workplace grants and $40,500 in scholarships - to nearly 70 adult students and recently graduated high school students from almost every public school district in Lancaster County. The $87,000 total represented the most that LCCTF has ever awarded in its 23 years of blessing students. Scholarships are applied to costs related to continuing education. Workforce grants are used for uniforms, tools and testing fees for individuals beginning careers.
