• Mortgage Guarantee Program

  To provide assistance to new full-time faculty and administrative/professional staff relocating to a primary residence in the Lewisburg area, the University may issue a guarantee to the mortgage lender for an amount up to 20% of the purchase price of a primary residence.

  Eligibility:

  • Full-time faculty or administrative/professional staff member in a position that is not of a stated duration.
  • A potential buyer must be moving into the area from a distance of over 50 miles and must apply to the program within five years of their date of employment.
  • The guarantee program may not be used more than once.
  • Lender and Bucknell approvals and other restrictions apply. The program is subject to change.

  For more information, download the Mortgage Guarantee Program Guide. Contact the Office of the Provost or the Finance Office for additional information.

   

• Need Information on School Districts and Child Care?

  In some cases, an added stress of looking for a new home is trying to decide what school district or child care options may be available in the area. You can find this information and much more by exploring Creating Community Alliance. 

  The EAP can also help with child care and school issues. From searching out child care providers in determining whether public or private schools are in your child's best interest, the EAP can be a valuable resource. Contact the Health Advocate EAP by calling 866-799-2728.

   

• Address Update

  A very important, and often missed, step of buying a new home and moving, is remembering to update your address with the University. It is simple to do this via the Personal Information worklet in Workday. This will ensure that you receive any important mailings, have the appropriate state and local taxes withheld, and that your new address is updated on any benefits you have enrolled in.
