Students who are survivors of life-threatening illnesses or injuries have a unique perspective on life and have endured challenges that none of their peers have ever experienced. In order to overcome the struggles that come their way, they have to try their best to have a positive outlook on life and work hard to pursue their dreams. As a way of honoring the life of Justin David Valle, the Justin David Valle Scholarship will support students who have survived a life-threatening illness or injury as they reach for their goals.
