Colby Smith is the recipient of the Richard A. Humphreville Memorial Legacy Loan. Colby graduated from Veritas Academy in 2025. He is attending the United States Merchant Marine Academy, majoring in Marine Transportation. In high school, Colby was involved in Civil Air Patrol (Cadet Second Lieutenant). He did search & rescues and founded the Robotics Club, and ran a commercial drone photography business. He received two varsity letters in cross country and has a district championship with Veritas. Colby’s best personal trait is his dedication to serve our country, whether on the national, state, or local level. Sacrificing sleep or events to serve fellow Americans has always been a priority of his. Colby is the 2023 Major General Mark Smith JanEX award gold medalist, meaning that he won a national competition with Civil Air Patrol on how things can be improved. In August 2024, Colby talked about a national flight simulator competition in San Antonio, TX, and got a chance to host the competition. His life goal is to become a pilot and eventually a chaplain in the United States Navy.

#ThankyouThursday: "I am so grateful for Lancaster Dollars. Because of the loans I received from Lancaster Dollars, I was able to graduate with minimal debt to the government, which will help me be able to live debt-free within a year or two of my graduation from college and buy a house here in Texas!" ~Lianna L. (Muhlenberg College)

65 years of opening doors—and we’re just getting started. 💙

#RoommateTip: "My roommate and I were very close friends before we became roommates. A lot of people we talked to thought it wouldn't work out, but it ended up being great! What really helped us was that we could honestly communicate about what was and wasn't working, and if there was anything that we needed to change. I believe that communication is one of the most important parts of getting along with your roommate!" ~Emily P. (Messiah University)

#MentorMonday: "The key to success in creative fields really comes down to endurance. Also, make sure you take advantage of your time as a student to build out your portfolio and/or reels while you have access to fellow students, teachers, equipment, and time to dedicate to your craft. I was able to shoot multiple projects, including a feature, before leaving college, and it really helped me get jobs right out of school." ~ ~Rachael Q. (Film & Media major at F&M College)
