WILKES -BARRE – We have some exciting news from King’s College this week! We have announced our Luzerne and Lackawanna Education Opportunity (LLEO) Program.

What is the LLEO Program? 

The LLEO Program is a new King’s College financial aid initiative for local, first-time students that makes a King’s College education affordable for a family with an income less than $50,000 per year. Any student who qualifies for the program will have their tuition and fees paid on their behalf after financial aid is applied, which is determined by submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). 

Who is eligible for LLEO?
