In memory of Joseph T. Gero, who died in May of last year, a memorial scholarship has been established to support students studying for their CDL license at Lehigh Carbon Community College.

The $10,000 Joseph T. Gero Memorial Scholarship will provide funding to offset the cost of the training in this growing field.

The Gero scholarship will help ease the financial load for students training for their CDL.

In addition, this new scholarship kicks off a campaign to raise additional funds to support students in workforce development and upskill training programs and military veterans at LCCC.

The LCCC Foundation will hold three events throughout the year to raise funds for scholarships: a clay shoot in June, the 27th annual golf classic in September and the Fall Fitness Fest 5 and 10K in November.
