Lincoln University

Founded in 1854, Lincoln continues its proud tradition of producing leaders for our nation and the world.  During the first one hundred years of existence, Lincoln graduated approximately 20 percent of the Black physicians and more than 10 percent of the Black attorneys in the United States.  Notable among our alumni are Thurgood Marshall ’30, first African American Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; Hildrus A. Poindexter ’24, internationally known authority on tropical diseases; and Jacqueline Allen ’74, Judge for the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia.

More recently, Lincoln University has been ranked 2nd in the nation for graduating African Americans with baccalaureate degrees in the physical sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics); in the top 3 percent in the nation for graduating African Americans in all disciplines; and as one of 20 universities in the nation where 40% or more of its physics graduates are women.

The Horace Mann  – Leslie Pinckney Hill Scholarship allows Lincoln University to provide continuity from its proud past to its promising future.  Named in part for Horace Mann Bond, class of 1923 and the eighth president of the university, the scholarship provides full tuition for law, medicine—including podiatry—and dental education at Temple University, Pennsylvania State University, or the University of Pittsburgh to eligible graduates of Lincoln University.  The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has funded the scholarship since 1983 and restructured it in 1998 to attract highly qualified students to Lincoln’s pre-professional programs and to increase the number of graduates entering professional degree programs in Pennsylvania universities.

 

Bond-Hill Scholarship Recipients represent the best elements of Lincoln’s liberal arts and science-based undergraduate core curriculum.  Here is what the first two recipients have to say when asked about the program and their studies:

 

Text Box: I am reminded of my duty to give back to the communities that have given so freely to me and motivated me to use my future resources to ensure such opportunities to other deserving students. This scholarship is allowing me to fulfill my dream of becoming a physician and has provided the resources that will allow me to one day make a significant contribution to society. I am extremely grateful for this honor. Lanniece Freeman Lincoln class of ’98 studying medicine at Pennsylvania State University
 

 


Text Box: I am one of eleven children, so you can imagine how tight finances have always been in my family… When I learned that I was going to receive a scholarship that would pay my tuition and fees for medical school, I was extremely relieved… It has also given me the freedom to concentrate solely on my studies and not on my mounting academic bills, a freedom that I desperately need. Martinique Johnson Lincoln class of ’98 studying medicine at Pennsylvania State University
