The Lincoln-Lane Foundation is thrilled to announce its Scholarship Program for the current year. The awards are available for every high school or college student who is a resident of the Tidewater area of Virginia or currently attending, a four-year college or university in the United States.
The grant is designed with a primary focus of assisting the students who are in need of funds to complete their further studies. The Foundation will be rewarding talented and hardworking applicants with a significant sum of amount to be utilized for their additional educational purposes.
The Lincoln-Lane Foundation was established in 1928 by Mr. and Mrs. John Henry Rodgers to enable deserving young men and women in the Norfolk Community to obtain a quality education. They have broadened their scope to include students from the Tidewater area of Virginia, and their grants are to allow recipients to pursue full-time study.
