Our mission is to provide financial resources to Lancaster County residents in support of their post-secondary educational goals.

By providing interest-free loans we are helping students attain their dream of higher education. Since the loans are repaid the funds are again available to provide funding to more students. This teaches students the value of paying it forward to help another individual.

We have provided more than $22,000,000 in interest-free loans since 1961!

    #SuccessStory: "I began working as a Career Ambassador for the Center for Career and Development in the Fall of 2025. I am one of five Career Ambassadors and am one of the three new members of the team. I took the role because I found it to be interesting, and I thought I could leverage this opportunity to grow. Despite being new, whenever my boss asked for suggestions on what she thought we could do to make the Career Center a better resource for students, I was always very vocal about my ideas. Beyond just presenting my ideas, I gave her plans on how we could execute them. No matter the task she gave me, I put 110% in. In November, the Executive Director of the Career Center approached me and asked me if I would be interested in becoming the Sophomore Summit Intern. She said that they immediately thought of me for the position and that they were building out the job description to match my interests. Thanks to the effort I put in as a Career Ambassador, I'm getting to grow into a new position that will allow me to hire, lead, and facilitate a team of 9 students. Together, we will help to create Dickinson's first Sophomore Summit. I believe I was offered this opportunity due to my communication and teamwork skills, as well as my ability to problem-solve when asked. I tell everyone this all the time, but I've found that opportunities pop up in the strangest places! Always putting your best foot forward can truly lead to incredible opportunities! ~Alyssa D. (Dickinson College) #MentorMonday: "Never just go through the motions. Always try to understand the reason why you are studying a certain topic and how it can be implemented in your field. I also strongly advise college students to become financially literate, particularly for personal finances, as the "adult world" hits hard once you live on your own!" ~Justin S. (Penn State University) Kaylee LoVerso is the recipient of the Bergman Cronin Legacy Loan. Kaylee graduated from Hempfield High School in 2025. She is attending Delaware Valley University, majoring in animal science and pre-professional program. In high school, Kaylee played softball. She also served as Vice President of Future Farmers of America (FFA). One of Kaylee’s greatest achievements was finishing at the top of her class in animal production science & technology at Lancaster County Career and Technology Center. Her life goals are to study animal science and continue her education at veterinary school. #ThankyouThursday: "These loans gave me the peace of mind that I wasn't racking up tons of interest. I was able to focus on school and finding a good job." ~Kelly D. (Susquehanna University) To celebrate LDHL’s 65th anniversary, we’re sharing something truly special—65 stories from current students, alumni, and past loan recipients whose lives have been shaped by interest-free student loans. Each story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together to invest in education and opportunity. 💙 #RoommateTip: "Flexibility is key. My roommate and I sometimes share food but always ask beforehand if it’s okay, and we put it at a place where we can both access it. We respect each other by keeping our music/audio at a low level and try to be as quiet as we can if the other person is sleeping. We met our freshman year and grew closer on a study abroad trip and other trips during this past summer! One thing I’ve learned is that while I do enjoy alone time, I also enjoy having someone who can keep you company after long days." Maggie C. (Lancaster Bible College)
