Lincoln College will close Friday, May 13, 2022, after 157 years. The institution, located in Lincoln, Illinois, failed to raise millions of dollars to help it recover from low student enrollment during the coronavirus pandemic and was also hit by a cyber-attack, from which it has not recovered. No last minute benefactor has emerged to save the institution which was founded in 1865 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and named after Abraham Lincoln.
