The Estée Lauder Companies’ (ELC) support of the Supply Chain Scholars program at Bucks County Community College resonates deeply with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision for civil and economic rights and equality by expanding access to education and career opportunities for underrepresented groups in Bucks County, Pa. In partnership with BCCC and Temple University, the program provides scholarships, mentorship, and hands-on training, actively working to bridge economic disparities, and opening pathways for local students to secure stable, high-quality careers in supply chain management—a field with growing demand. This program strengthens principles of equality by fostering inclusion in a traditionally underrepresented industry, empowering individuals to advance economically and break systemic barriers to career growth.
This fall, the program announced its third cohort of scholars, bringing the total number of students supported to 13. ELC remains dedicated to the program’s mission, ensuring that each cohort reflects true diversity and offers students from Bucks County the chance to learn, work, and thrive locally. These scholars contribute to the region’s economic development while serving as role models for other students in the community and at Bucks County Community College. Through this initiative, ELC honors Dr. King's call to uplift underserved communities by equipping individuals with the tools to achieve excellence and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
