The 2015-16 fiscal year was an exceptional one for the Southern York County School District Foundation (SYCSDF).

The SYCSDF provides giving opportunities for scholarships, projects, equipment, supplies and other purposes that benefit District students.

“In 2016, 169 scholarships were awarded to 100 students at Susquehannock High School,” said Foundation President Glenn Geiple.  The Foundation distributed $110,262 in scholarships and awards through the Dollars for Scholars program. The scholarship program now features 39 permanently endowed scholarships. The Foundation has been active since 2001.

In addition, the Foundation received more than $180,500 in 2015-16 contributions. This brings the five year total in contributions to nearly $1 million. Net assets through the SYCSDF have approached $800,000.

Furthermore, $27,000 was donated to the School District’s “Classrooms Without Walls” technology program through gifts from community members, businesses, and supporters, Geiple said.

Thank you to the community, the School Board, businesses, and to the other organizations that donate money,” he said. “We are very happy to be able to provide these scholarships.”

As the Foundation continues to grow, Geiple said that its board is currently working on programs to raise more scholarships as well as to create a legacy program for individuals who wish to donate to the Foundation.
