The Clarence Schock Foundation, originally The SICO Foundation, has been awarding scholarships for more than fifty years, since 1951, to deserving students attending certain Pennsylvania institutions and residing in specific counties. Today, these scholarships are awarded in the amount of $6,600 payable in incremental amounts for up to four years. The Foundation also awards a senior year Fellowship to one scholar at each participating university valued at over $5,000 for the year.

The institutions participating in the Clarence Schock Foundation Scholarship Program are Cheyney University, Kutztown University, Millersville University, Shippensburg University and West Chester University. Students must reside in one of the following counties: Adams, Berks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Lancaster, Lebanon and York or be a graduate of one of the following secondary schools in Pennsylvania: Shippensburg, Boyertown, Spring Ford or Williams Valley.

Other Foundation programs include a $2,000 per year scholarship for up to four years to Elizabethtown College - a private institution.  The Foundation also supports financially, and is a trustee of, the Clarence Schock Memorial Park at Governor Dick, in Lebanon County, and contributed substantially to the construction of the Milanof-Schock Library in Mount Joy.

These programs have been made possible by the foresight, generosity, business acumen, and personal values of our founder, Clarence Schock. Mr. Schock believed strongly in only modest profits for stockholders and in corporate giving to the community from which the company derived those profits.

Mr. Schock founded the Schock Independent Oil Company, which later became The SICO Company and then The SICO Foundation. Today the Board of Directors, who recently changed the name of the Foundation to honor its founder, sustains Mr. Schock's vision and values by providing scholarships to students and gifts to select community services.

We hope you will enjoy and benefit from your visit to our website. The Clarence Schock Foundation is a 501(c)(3) corporation and contributions in support of Foundation programs may be made directly to Clarence Schock Foundation, P. O. Box 127, Mount Joy, PA 17552.
