The United Way
of Lackawanna
County was
approved by the
Pennsylvania
Department of
Community and
Economic
Development to
be a
Pre-Kindergarten
Scholarship
Organization
beginning in FY
2005/2006, and
we are proud to
say that we led
the way as one
of the first
United Ways in
Pennsylvania to
receive this
designation.
Our
Pre-Kindergarten
Scholarship
Program offers
tuition
assistance to
children from
financially
eligible
families
attending or
wishing to
attend approved
pre-school
programs that
meet the
stringent
guidelines set
forth by the
DCED. Last year,
the following
companies
supported this
program and
raised more than
$133,000.
These
funds helped
nearly 100
income eligible
families send
their children
to qualified
pre-kindergarten
programs.
