The Melissa Kulpa Lacrosse Scholarship for Girls aims to empower young women who aspire to excel in lacrosse and pursue educational opportunities. Established in honor of Melissa Kulpa, an All-American Division 1 lacrosse player from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, this scholarship seeks to support talented athletes who face financial barriers, much like Melissa did during her youth. Applicants must be high school lacrosse players intending to play at the collegiate level. The selection committee will review applications, including those of Melissa Kulpa, former coaches, and other notable female lacrosse figures. They will assess each candidate's athletic achievements, academic record, financial need, and potential for positive impact on and off the field. Applicants may submit an optional supplement to their application by providing a brief video explaining how this scholarship would impact them. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
