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.
