The Wells Fargo Foundation has given $2,000 toward a Springboard Scholarship at Lehigh Carbon Community College.
The money will provide a $500 scholarship over four semesters to students who are first-generation college students with financial need.
According to Carbon County's statistics, 48 percent of students in the county come from low-income families. Residents of Carbon County also fall well below the state average for those attaining a college degree; in part, due to their economic situation.
Lehigh Carbon Community College serves students with sites in three counties: main campus in Schnecksville and Donley Center in Allentown (Lehigh County), Morgan Center in Tamaqua (Schuylkill County) and LCCC Jim Thorpe (Carbon County).
