Our Honorary Chair, Yonnie Kauffman, is a Legacy Loan donor! A Legacy Loan can be established by a donor who has reached $10,000, either as a one-time donation or over several years. The loan can also be named in honor of an individual, group, or organization.

🚀 Ready for the 2026–27 school year?

Join us in helping to keep our streets beautiful! We'll meet in front of Liberty Place to clean the sidewalk areas on Liberty Street between Harrisburg Pike and Queen Street. Gloves and bags are available.

2026 marks the 65th Anniversary for LDHL! Since February 1961, community support and the commitment of our loan recipients have enabled us to provide more than 15,000 loans – totaling over $21 million – opening doors to higher education at more than 500 colleges and universities.

We wish Amy and Ashley a Happy National Employee Appreciation Day! As our small but mighty staff, you both deserve recognition for your consistent efforts and commitment. Your work greatly benefits Lancaster Dollars for Higher Learning, and today, we honor all that you do. Keep up the great work!

#SuccessStory: "I graduated in August and passed my boards shortly after. I am thankful to have had a job waiting for me as well and am about a month into working for Lancaster Orthopedic Group as a surgical physician assistant who will be specializing in spine surgery. For now, they have me doing general orthopedics so that I can be competent when on call and so that I have a holistic understanding of how the practice works as a whole." ~Daniel J. (Elizabethtown College)

Our Honorary Chair, Yonnie Kauffman, was also a Board Member and became an Honorary Life Member. Yonnie joined the board of the Citizens’ Scholarship Foundation of Lancaster County (now LDHL) in 1985. Over the years, Yonnie served in several roles and helped support the foundation’s work. In recognition of her long-time service, the board named her an Honorary Life Member.

#SemesterBreak: "I’ve been working about 2 or 3 days each week to earn some cash, while also doing research on different companies that I could potentially intern at over the summer. I’ve worked a little bit on personal projects, and I still plan to do some more work on them. I also submitted a study abroad application, as well as some scholarship applications. I also have plans to look into what research I may want to dive into once I’m back at school. On top of all that, I have made sure to stay active, playing soccer and going to the gym regularly, while also making sure that I get some time to reconnect with friends and family, through playing games, watching movies, and just hanging out. This has been beneficial because it gives me a break from the typical schoolwork, but keeps me productive overall, as I am still doing work towards advancing my career or opening up new opportunities as I prepare for the next semester. It also gives me a good chance to be social without the pressures of schoolwork. The break is a good time to relax a bit by taking a break from schoolwork, but it is important that you keep good habits that you had at school while also trying to break the bad habits that formed. I also think it is important to use some of the time over break to put some work into the personal projects that get pushed off to the side during the hustle and bustle of the semester." ~Eric J. (Penn State University)
