While unveiling a new gateway sign at the Epstein Campus at Lower Bucks in Bristol, philanthropist Gene Epstein announced the expansion of a scholarship program to help Lower Bucks high school graduates attend Bucks County Community College.
Last March, the Gene and Marlene Epstein Humanitarian Fund donated $100,000 to allow 100 students to attend their first year of college free of student debt during the 2025-2026 academic year.
On Monday, August 18, Epstein announced an additional 100 scholarships will be available in the 2026-2027 academic year. What’s more, Epstein revealed a $1 million commitment towards future scholarships in the years ahead.
The campus, which opened in 2006 in Bristol Township as the Bucks County Community College Lower Bucks Campus, was renamed the Gene and Marlene Epstein Campus at Lower Bucks in 2016 to commemorate a generous donation from the Epstein Humanitarian Fund.
In 2022, the campus expanded with a new building, the Center for Advanced Technologies.
