SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED TO 52 ASD GRADUATES THIS YEAR
Posted on 08/08/2022

August 8, 2022, Allentown, PA – In June 2022, the Allentown School District Foundation (ASDF) awarded senior scholarships to 52 students graduating from William Allen High School, Louis E. Dieruff High School, Building 21 High School and the Lehigh Career and Technical Institute (LCTI). This year is the eighth year that graduating students were awarded senior scholarships through the Foundation. In addition, many other scholarships are also awarded directly by the high schools. A total of $63,365 was distributed through ASDF to 2022 graduates; and an additional $54,000 was awarded to students who received four-year scholarships in previous years. The endowed (in blue) and expendable scholarships awarded by the Foundation are made possible by generous donors looking to recognize student achievement and to honor or memorialize individuals who have contributed to the school district and the Allentown community in various ways. The high school guidance teams select the recipients.
