This week, Lebanon Valley College welcomed 446 first-year students — as well as 46 transfer students from 25 colleges and universities throughout the United States — starting the fall semester.

The top programs of choice among new students were LVC’s nationally recognized six-year Doctor of Physical Therapy Program and the recently launched Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program.

Four first-year students received full-tuition scholarships for their four undergraduate years through the Dr. John “Jack” Bowman Allwein ’56 Scholarship, which also provides honorees with three $2,500 stipends during their time at LVC for research, travel, or study expenses associated with study abroad, internships, or collaborative research. Seven other students were awarded $20,000 LVC Kaleidoscope Scholars, representing their commitment to participate in diversity, equity, and inclusion programming.

Also, LVC noted in a press release, 54 first-year students were accepted into the college’s honors program, “a living-learning experience for a select group of curious, passionate, and action-oriented students,” the release said.

LVC, founded in 1866, offers 50 majors in the health professions, sciences, business and digital media, arts and humanities, and education at its 370-acre campus in Annville. The student population includes 1,600 undergraduates and more than 400 graduate students.

Students move into their rooms at Lebanon Valley College at the start of the fall 2024 semester.
