J.P. McCaskey High School at 445 N. Reservoir St. in Lancaster city as viewed on Monday, June 24, 2024.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Fund awarded $303,000 scholarships to 38 J.P. McCaskey High School seniors on Friday night during an event at Holy Trinity Church on Duke Street.
Many of the scholarships went to students who will be the first in their family to attend college, and others immigrated to the United States, learned English as a second language and excelled. The nonprofit fund is overseen by a board of local teachers, professionals and businesspeople who donate and raise funds, awarded to students for tuition after a process that includes academic and extracurricular review, interviews and an essay.
