Lebanon Valley College Welcomes New Allwein Scholars

Academics, athletics, and community service are a few traits that connect this year’s group of John Bowman Allwein Scholars, who will arrive at Lebanon Valley College as part of the Class of 2022. Six students received the College’s highest scholarship, joining 19 others who received the honor in previous years.

The Allwein Scholarship, established through a gift from Dr. John “Jack” Bowman Allwein ’56, provides full tuition to LVC and a $2,500 annual stipend for academic purposes such as study abroad, internships, and research. Recipients are selected through a competitive process among the most brightest of high school students who exemplify interest in attending Lebanon Valley College.
