How It Was Started: Founded by Marion Taylor in February 2018
Businessman and Lancaster native Marion Taylor was an original founding member of a Scholarship Foundation in Atlanta, GA. After moving back home to Lancaster, it was his vision to start a Lancaster County scholarship foundation with the same mission to assist students in this community. The purpose of the LCGSSF is to identify students who serve the needs of others in extraordinary ways and to assist them financially as they continue their service commitment while furthering their education at a college or technical school.
The Name ‘Good Samaritan’: A title for those who serve their fellow citizens
We are a Lancaster County scholarship designed around the story of the Good Samaritan, though applicants are not required to have any specific religious affiliation. Students from the four Lancaster County high schools and the Career Center may apply for the scholarship in the Fall of their junior year (due November 30.).
Students from the Career Center will be included with the list of applicants from their high school. Only one scholarship will be awarded per high school; therefore, a total of four scholarships may be awarded.
Funding for our unique Lancaster County Scholarship and Mentoring Program: Please consider supporting our foundation. We rely on generous donors . “The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.” -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Good Samaritan Scholarship Foundation is funded by generous donations from individuals and local businesses. We rely on the generosity of others to maintain this legacy of rewarding young good samaritans in our community.
We also rely on volunteers and donors to sponsor and assist with fundraising events in the community which raise money and bring awareness to our organization. We need ongoing support for the foundation.
We appreciate the opportunity to participate annually in the GIVE LOCAL Fundraiser, sponsored by the Arras Foundation. It will be held on November 15, which is National Philanthropy Day. The event will take place for one day only. PLEASE consider making a donation to our Foundation! Your support is crucial to our success!
