Student Loan Program 

The Student Loan Fund of the Lititz Rotary Club was started more than a half-century ago with contributions from Individual Rotary Club members. During the first several years of life, the fund was able to grow through club fund raisers. Today, we are proud to say that the fund is self sustaining. Repayments each year from former loan recipients make up the available funds for new loan applicants. Therefore, the continuation of the fund depends on the prompt repayment of loans according to the repayment agreement.

Maximum Loan Amount - $1,000.00

Applications must be received by June 1, 2023 to be considered for the 2023-24 academic year. Download the application here and loan details here.
