“I couldn’t be more excited for the road ahead,” says Benuel Lapp, pictured at right, an incoming student to Lancaster Bible College | Capital Seminary & Graduate School. In fact, he’s so excited, he shared his journey through an amazing video entry to the #LBCsaidYES contest (#LBCAccepted as of Fall 2020), where students like Benuel share social media posts with their acceptance letters for a chance to win a $2,000 scholarship.

In Benuel’s case, that journey included many steps along the way. “And I wouldn’t be where I am today without the influence and impact of Lititz Christian School and One Life Institute (a Christian gap year program in Lancaster, Pennsylvania). But above all, I thank God for bringing me this far and walking with me every step of the way.”

Benuel was the winner of one of four $2,000 scholarships to be awarded in 2020. Nathan Vigil received the February 2020 scholarship, and Hannah Lamkin won the April 2020 scholarship. Besides Benuel’s in June, one more $2,000 scholarship is up for grabs this summer. Incoming freshmen can still post their own #LBCsaidYES entry through July 31; the final winner for the year will be announced Aug. 3. (Note: Please post scholarship entries to #LBCAccepted as of September 2020.)

Students are eligible to win at any time, and profiles must be public and use the hashtag #LBCAccepted to be eligible. Posts are judged based on creativity and should incorporate the student’s acceptance letter in some way. Winners are selected by the college and will be contacted about how to claim their prize.

I am so excited to announce that today I officially committed to Lancaster Bible College where I will finally get to make this dream come true! In the Fall of 2020, I will be furthering my academic career as I study Early Childhood Education and Biblical Studies. After much prayer and consideration, I am so thankful that God has revealed His future plans for me, and I am so happy that LBC gets to be a part of this plan. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to my admissions counselor, @lenapoff who has shown me so much love and support throughout this whole process. I wouldn’t have been able to make this big decision without her! I am pumped to see what the Lord has in store for me at LBC next year!” #lbcsaidyes 🎉
