The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Development Institute Scholarship

The purpose of the MLKLDI Scholarship is to invest in a graduating high school senior in Dauphin County who demonstrates leadership potential, academic commitment, and a clear desire to strengthen their community. Grounded in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s values of service, justice, and civic responsibility, the scholarship supports a student who is preparing to pursue postsecondary education, training, or a credentialed career pathway while continuing to lead with character. The scholarship is intended to reduce financial barriers to the student’s next step after graduation and to affirm a lifelong expectation of community engagement—encouraging the recipient to apply their talents to improving Dauphin County through volunteerism, mentorship, and inclusive leadership.
