Loan Program Will Promote Trade School Enrollment
Lancaster Dollars for Higher Learning staff members (from left) Amy Heth and Ashley Hemmelstein and board president Samantha Eck announced the creation of the E. Ann Klein TOTE Loan Program for students attending postsecondary schools other than colleges.
Lancaster Dollars for Higher Learning (LDHL) has launched the E. Ann Klein Trade, Occupational, and Technical Education Loan Program, also known as TOTE Loan Program. The new TOTE Loan Program provides interest-free loans to Lancaster County residents who have earned a high school diploma or GED and are planning to attend an eligible trade, occupational, or technical program. Students are eligible to receive one loan totaling up to $3,400 to aid in their tuition expenses. “Along with federal student aid, that gets them a little bit closer (to covering school costs),” said LDHL board president Samantha Eck.

“Eye Drop” Offers An Edgy Way To Support VisionCorps When Millersville resident Jesse Miller was coping with the loss of his sight last year, he did not foresee that a year later he would be confident enough to rappel 125 feet down the side of a building. However, that is exactly what he envisions for himself on Friday, Nov. 22, as part of Lancaster’s Extraordinary Give fundraising event. Jesse will be one of up to 92 people who will rappel the side of Holiday Inn Lancaster, 26 E. Chestnut St., Lancaster, during Eye Drop 2019 to raise $100,000 to support VisionCorps’ rehabilitation, education, and employment services for See Eye Drop pg 3
