Lancaster Dollars for Higher Learning is a non-profit organization founded in 1961 to provide financial assistance to deserving Lancaster County, PA residents who want to further their educations but have limited financial resources. Every dollar you give to LDHL helps generations of students from Lancaster County afford higher education. Unlike scholarships or grants that offer money to students a single time, our interest-free loans are repaid. That means your donations recycle year after year. You off a hand up instead of a hand-out. Interest-Free=Worry-Free
