Gene Lock, a 1965 journalism graduate of Lincoln University of Missouri, has made significant contributions to his alma mater over the years. In 2024, he increased his support with two $5,000 gifts to students with the greatest financial need. His philanthropy, including substantial support for the Lock-Heinen Scholarship in English, reflects his dedication to advancing education at LU.

The Lock-Heinen Scholarship, named in honor of Lock and his late wife, Susan (Heinen) Lock, a 1966 journalism alumna, supports students with strong academic achievements in English. To qualify, applicants must have completed at least 45 credit hours, with 9 hours in English courses beyond general education requirements, a GPA of 3.5 in these courses and a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.

Lock’s giving history demonstrates his long-term commitment to providing opportunities for students at Lincoln University.

We thank Gene Lock for his continued generosity and unwavering support of Lincoln University. His contributions make a lasting impact on the lives of our students and exemplify the spirit of philanthropy that strengthens our university community.
