Ever Forward
The Campaign for Lebanon Valley College
Students and families expect more from higher education: greater affordability, clearer career pathways, stronger outcomes, technology-rich and purpose-built facilities, and a better return on investment. Employers expect graduates who are adaptable, skilled, and prepared to lead in complex environments. Communities expect institutions and their graduates to fuel workforce development, innovation, and civic strength.
Accomplishing all this requires significant financial resources at a time when increasing tuition is neither feasible nor fair to families. At stake is not only the future strength of the institution, but the potential of every student who depends on it.
To meet this call, Lebanon Valley College proudly introduces Ever Forward, a historic $100 million comprehensive campaign. This is your opportunity to invest in areas that will change lives, families, and communities for generations to come.
Three Pillars, One Common Purpose
Ever Forward focuses on building LVC’s resources in three critical areas: scholarships, academic excellence, and the student experience.
