Springs Close grant helps three men go to college
Three men from the Lancaster Fatherhood Project are getting the opportunity to further their education with the help of a grant from the Springs Close Foundation.
Each of these men has faced obstacles in their lives and is a testament of the good things that can happen when you are consistent, disciplined and have a positive attitude, Fatherhood Project officials say.
All three men are non-custodial fathers.
