Education Support Programs

PPL recognizes the need for family and community involvement to improve education.

Employee Programs

• Partners in Education. PPL employees from all levels of the company volunteer in local schools to increase student learning and extend the capacity of teachers, as well as to expand their own awareness of the crisis in education. Through in-classroom tutoring and mentoring, career workshops, preschool development and parenting programs, and partnerships with organizations such as Junior Achievement, Explorer Scouting, Adult Literacy Council and the Hispanic American Organizations, volunteers help students become successful learners. Allentown School District partnerships include the Washington, Cleveland, Central and Lincoln schools.
• Matching Aid to Colleges, Universities and High Schools. PPL matches employees' monetary gifts to eligible colleges, universities and high schools up to a total of $4,000 annually.
• Merit Scholarships. PPL supports our employees and retirees by providing four-year scholarships for their children through the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).
