Anika Sheaffer is the recipient of the Pangburn Family Legacy Loan. AJ graduated from Manheim Central High School in 2025. She is attending Alfred University, majoring in art & design. During high school, AJ was involved in marching band, pit orchestra, Interact Club, RHO KAPPA, Tri-M, Toys for Tots, and Reading Olympics. Her best personal trait is her humor. Fun fact: AJ’s family's cat, named Mustard, weighed 27 pounds. She looks forward to completing college.

#SemesterBreak: "During this semester break, I have really been prioritizing spending time with friends and family while I am home! Coming off of a busy semester, I needed a break where I could focus on getting myself organized. I have been working on internship applications for the coming summer, while also continuing to work remotely with my research team that I am a part of on campus. I am studying abroad in Copenhagen this coming spring semester, which has also kept me busy with all of the planning and tasks leading up to that!" ~Lauren L. (William & Mary 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.

Charlotte Kowitz is the recipient of the Garofola Legacy Loan. Charlotte graduated from Lancaster Catholic High School in 2025. She is attending the University of Rhode Island, majoring in marine biology and animal & veterinary science. In high school, Charlotte was involved in track & field, Mini-THON, and Orientation Crew. She was also a volunteer for Church Youth Group Works of Mercy Week and swim team. Her best personal trait is perseverance. Charlotte’s goal is to graduate with as little debt as possible so that she can begin working in research and conservation.

#SuccessStory: “I graduated from Susquehanna University in 2017 with a degree in marketing. 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. After graduation, I applied for an editorial marketing internship at a finance company in Harrisburg. We were acquired by a big bank a few years ago, and I'm now a senior marketing specialist.” ~Kelly D. (Susquehanna University)

Our mission is to provide financial resources to Lancaster County residents in support of their post-secondary educational goals. Since 1961, we have provided more than $21 million in interest-free loans!
