Overcoming adversity through education since 1910
Lincoln Foundation has enabled disadvantaged youth to overcome adversity through education since its inception by Berea College over 100 years ago. Its mission is to provide educational enrichment programs that develop and support youth in overcoming barriers to achievement. Lincoln Foundation believes that students can break the cycle of poverty in their families through higher education. Its primary purpose is to holistically develop students in an educational culture that stresses academic achievement and graduation from college. Lincoln Foundation annually serves approximately 400 students age two to college through its nontraditional educational enrichment programs.
