The
Act 101 Achievement Program
The Honorable K. Leroy
Irvis was the first Black Speaker of the House for the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and in the country. He created legislation, the Higher
Education Equal Opportunity Program, Legislative Act 101, to provide
funding to assist motivated Pennsylvania residents who needed a chance
to attend college.
There are now a total of
76 Act 101 programs in the state. Lincoln University has had an Act
101 program since 1971, and it is called the Act 101 Achievement Program.
The Act 101 Achievement
Program is designed to provide low-income Pennsylvania residents with
SAT scores and/or high school grade point averages (GPAs) below the
University's admission criteria, a chance to attend Lincoln University.
Students are initially placed in classes based on SAT scores.
Students are provided with
academic, professional, and personal counseling to assist them with
the adjustment to the rigors of a college lifestyle.
