Description

The John Lepping Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to qualified students seeking to further their education by attending college.

This scholarship will help to deter the costs of college for disabled individuals who may not have the resources due to overwhelming medical costs. eligibility includes, but not limited to physical conditions (spinal cord injury, loss of limb, birth defects, etc.) and psychological conditions (autism, post- traumatic stress etc.). Scholarship recipients must be able to provide proof of disability with a letter of confirmation by a physician. Proof is required after award notification. Please do not submit it with the application. Three letters of recommendation from non-family members are required. Applications may be sent through mail or email but email is preferred.
