The John Lepping Memorial Scholarship has been designed by the Lep Foundation for Youth Education to be awarded to qualified students seeking to further their education by attending college. John Lepping was extremely proud of disabled students who mustered the courage and determination to finish their college education despite their setbacks. This scholarship will help to deter the costs of college for disabled individuals who may not have the resources due to overwhelming medical costs. Including, but not limited to physical conditions (spinal cord injury, loss of limb, birth defects, etc.) and psychological conditions (autism, post- traumatic stress etc.). The recipient must demonstrate academic achievement through evidence of working to one's potential, demonstrate eligibility in one of aforementioned three categories outlined and be accepted for admission at an institution of higher education. Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation from non-family members. Scholarship recipients must be able to provide proof of disability with a letter of confirmation by a physician. Proof is required after award notification, do not submit with the application. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Lep Foundation for Youth Education for more information.
