Lippey Family Scholarship
The college application and enrollment process can be incredibly stressful and intimidating for any student, but especially those going through personal difficulties.
Students who have learning differences may worry about getting accepted into college and about thriving in the classrooms there. With many campuses lacking proper accommodations or inclusion measures, students with unique needs may feel overwhelmed by the process.
This scholarship seeks to support students with learning differences or other challenges who may have difficulty in the academic world.
Any four-year undergraduate student from a low-income background may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they are a hard worker but limited by a learning difference.
To apply, write a short essay telling us about a time when a challenge you faced led to personal growth.
Reflect on a time when a challenge led you to personal growth.
