The goal of L.I.F.T. is to inspire students to create lasting change by broadening their horizons through world travel and to foster a strong connection with other cultures.
—The Cyrus Zschau Foundation
L.I.F.T (Launch into Foreign Travel) is a scholarship fund that is set up in Cyrus Zschau’s memory. It gives scholarship opportunities for students from Harwood Union High School to be used towards educational travel for school sponsored trips. Applicants must fill out an application and be a sophomore or greater. We at L.I.F.T. believe every student deserves a chance to soar.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.
Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime."
—Mark Twain
