Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are awarding over $140,000 in scholarships to help students pursue their dreams beyond high school.
This year’s applicants impressed us with their wit, eloquence, bravery, determination, and compassion. On behalf of the selection committee and the Foundation for LPS, we celebrate our student's achievement and are honored to support their journey.
