Description

The Lanford Family Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship Program is limited to the sons, daughters or legally adopted children of highway workers who die or have become permanently disabled in roadway work zone accidents. The applicant's parent must have been employed by a transportation construction firm or a transportation public agency at the time of his or her death or disabling injury. The applicant must use the scholarship award to pursue any public or private four-year, two-year, or vocational technical or training education. At least two letters of recommendation from teachers in support of the candidate's application are required. If the applicant's parent is permanently incapacitated, they must submit appropriate documentation, including, but not limited to, a physician certification form stating that the injury was directly related to on-duty job-site injury or documentation from the Social Security Administration disability insurance program. Proof of guardianship must be submitted if the applicant is not living with a surviving parent. Applicants must also provide a copy of their most current year's federal tax return and a copy of their parent's most current year federal tax return.
