PS Bank Supports Lackawanna College with Dual Enrollment Donations

Through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit program, PS Bank has recently donated $10,000 to Lackawanna College to support dual enrollment efforts at the Towanda campus and at the Tunkhannock campus, home of the school’s petroleum and natural gas program.

This donation will allow for high school students to take advantage of Lackawanna College credits before receiving a high school degree. These credits can transfer into a variety of Lackawanna College degree programs or may be transferred to applicable programs at other institutions.

The Lackawanna College Towanda and Tunkhannock centers allow for educational accessibility for rural students and those seeking specialized degree programs, such as petroleum and natural gas technology.

This donation will provide educational opportunities to many students within the Northern Tier and can reduce the academic financial burden on students and families. Kelly White, Towanda Center Director, expressed gratitude for the donation. “When we bring college-level opportunities directly to students through innovative partnerships, like this one with PS Bank, we're creating a pipeline for educated professionals who can drive local economic growth. I love to see that PS Bank and Lackawanna College have a commitment to making sure that geographic location doesn't determine educational opportunity, and ensuring rural communities have the skilled workforce they need to thrive in today's world,” said White.

PS Bank is proud to invest in the future of our region by supporting initiatives that expand access to education and career pathways. Partnerships like this one reflect our ongoing commitment to strengthening the communities we serve.

PS Bank is a full-service financial institution with branches throughout Northeastern and North Central Pennsylvania.
