Students can only sign up for LPP in high school.

  2. Corporate Mentoring Sessions at Millersville University (1 per month in 10th, 11th and 12th grades)

Scholarship Guidelines

If students attend at least 90% of LPP events by the end of their senior year at McCaskey and are accepted to and attend Millersville University, they may qualify for a Lancaster Partnership Program Scholarship.

The amount of the scholarship depends on their high school grade point average (GPA) upon graduation from McCaskey High School, listed below. Students must also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by May 1 of their senior year and each year thereafter as Millersville University students and have financial need as stated on the FAFSA to qualify for this scholarship.

The following are the scholarship amounts students may receive depending on their GPA:

2.50 to 2.70 GPA

A maximum of $2,000 per year per student ($1,000 per semester per student) is combined with your PHEAA Grant and Pell Grant

2.71 to 3.2 GPA

A maximum of $3,000 per year per student ($1,500 per semester per student) is combined with your PHEAA Grant and Pell Grant

3.21 to 4.0 GPA

A maximum of $5,000 per year per student ($2,500 per semester per student) is combined with your PHEAA Grant and Pell Grant

This scholarship is good only at Millersville University and is awarded for a maximum of 10 semesters.

Every semester at Millersville University, LPP will check students’ GPA. If a student’s GPA falls below 2.50, the student may lose their scholarship. A student can regain their scholarship the next semester they obtain a GPA of 2.50 or higher.

Please note there is no guarantee that students will receive the Lancaster Partnership Program Scholarship. Scholarships are awarded based on students’ maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.50, their income eligibility based on information provided on the FAFSA, and any other scholarship eligibility as determined by corporate sponsors and/or scholarship funding organization.
