Lykins Companies Makes Investments in Local Area Students
The GUY B. AND MABEL LYKINS scholarship is named for the founders of Lykins. Each year Lykins Companies gives away thousands of dollars to local area high school students in pursuit of a bachelors degree.
The primary criteria in the selection process is that the student must be involved in community service above and beyond what is considered for graduation. Applications are distributed each Spring to all the area high schools throughout the Lykins heating oil customer base.
Lykins Companies believes the students we invest in today, will be our future employees of tomorrow.
In addition to what Lykins Companies gives through the GUY B. AND MABEL LYKINS scholarship awards, we also help to support other scholarships given by various other community groups.
Lykins Companies supports local schools with human resources. Several of our employees are volunteers in the "Partners in Education" programs throughout the Clermont County School District. These employee volunteers are paried up with a teacher for an entire school year. The volunteer speaks to students regarding the petroleum industry and the types of professions needed to run the business. The volunteers also assist the teacher with various projects whenever needed.
