Joseph A. Terbrack was a beloved son, brother, husband and father who recently passed away from ALS.
ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, claims thousands of lives each year, leaving a hole in many families. ALS changes the fabric of many relationships, making an impact on the friends, family, and loved ones of those who are afflicted while being a traumatizing and ultimately fatal experience for the person who is diagnosed.
This scholarship aims to uplift and support students who have been impacted by ALS, so they have the strength and resources necessary to continue pursuing their dreams.
Any high school student who has at least a 3.0 GPA and has been affected by ALS may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us how ALS has impacted your life, what you’ve learned from your experience, and how you hope to move forward to help other people.
