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!

    Since 1961, we have provided more than $22 million in interest-free loans! 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 reminds us what’s possible when a community comes together to invest in education and opportunity. 💙 Follow along as we highlight these inspiring journeys—and see the lasting impact of 65 years in action. Great day to connect with Cocalico students at their College & Career Fair! Hannah Groff is the recipient of The Estate of Paul and Genevieve Diller Legacy Loan. Hannah graduated from Hempfield High School this year. She is attending Monmouth University, majoring in Health Sciences. In high school, Hannah was involved in diving, track & field, and Varsity Club, and was a member of the National Honor Society. She also led a church mission trip to Mexico and is EMT-certified. Hannah’s best personal trait is determination because it drives her to be the best version of herself and to never give up. Her life goal is to travel the world and help people who are unable to care for themselves or do not have access to healthcare. How do our interest- and fee-free loans help Brayden? #SuccessStory: "I just finished my PhD after a successful defense in May 2026! I am super excited to enter into an industry position and I'm in the process of finding a full-time position. I am looking for a position as a materials scientist/engineer and specialize in X-ray diffraction and materials characterization. My PhD was focused on finding and engineering new semiconductors for solar applications! Work hard, ask questions, and don't fear the unknown, even when it is scary. As a first-generation college student, earning my BS and PhD has been very hard, but very rewarding. It can feel impossible, but you can do it! Make connections and learn lots! " ~Autumn P. (Colorado State University (Millersville University 2017-2021, BS Chemistry; 2021-2026, PhD in Materials Chemistry)
