Guy Temple Scholarship Application

Guidelines | Application

Due Date: July 1, 2026

This program was the collective idea of four area businessmen (Gary Baylor, Robert Garrett, Rod Keller and Guy Temple) who recognized the need for an area leadership program. Leadership Susquehanna Valley is designed to highlight the uniqueness of the Valley communities and to prepare current and future leaders to serve on not-for-profit boards and committees. The annual Guy Temple Scholarship was created in honor of the late co-founder, provided by his family, and is awarded each year to an incoming class candidate who meets the following criteria:

To qualify for this LSV class tuition scholarship, a candidate must either be self-paying or their organization must meet the requirements below:

• The organization paying a candidate’s tuition (Tuition Sponsor) must be a 501(c) (3) non-profit or a small business with a demonstrated need.

• Annual gross revenue must be less than $2.5 million.

• Applicant must be a board or staff member of the non-profit organization.

• Tuition Sponsor must be located in Union, Snyder, Northumberland, or Montour counties.

• Tuition Sponsor must show financial need (provide 990 tax form or equivalent).

Notification of scholarship funds received will be awarded by an email from the LSV Executive Director.

Upon acceptance of the scholarship, all remaining balances must be paid within 30 days of the invoice, or the tuition sponsor must commit to a payment plan. Failure to pay within 30 days of the payment plan will result in suspension of LSV activities for the applicant. If applicant fails to fulfill all graduation requirements, the organization will forfeit the scholarship funding, and will receive an invoice requiring payment in full. The tuition sponsor will be the entity that pays the tuition fee and receive all invoices.
