Born in humble circumstances in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, Clarence Schock became a man of high principle and an extraordinarily generous philanthropist, deeply committed to the well-being of his community. He established and personally endowed the Clarence Schock Foundation, originally the Sico Foundation and later renamed in his honor, to support public educational, literary and scientific purposes. He made scholarships the principal form of his educational philanthropy and challenged each recipient to become a teacher of the youth of the community and to help create a richer, more abundant life for all. The Clarence Schock Foundation continues this legacy by supporting deserving college students through scholarships.
