On Thursday, February 2, Peoples Bank Foundation presented a $2,500 gift to Alice Lloyd College to support the Appalachian Leaders Scholarship Program. Peoples Bank, formerly First Commonwealth Bank, has been a friend to the college for many years.

​Alice Lloyd College has been providing a tuition-guarantee to students in the central Appalachian region for over 100 years. Doing so means that qualified students pay nothing out-of-pocket for the cost of their education. Without wonderful friends like Peoples Bank this endeavor would not be possible.

​Gary Coovert and Nicole Shepherd of Peoples Bank were pleased to present the gift to ALC. Dr. Jim Stepp, Alice Lloyd College President said, “Peoples Bank is a good friend to Alice Lloyd College and our Appalachian region. We are grateful for their support.”
