More than $2.2
million in scholarships has been awarded to nearly 450
students through the LP Scholarship Program
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 15,
2023 /CNW/ -- LP Building Solutions (LP), a
leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, today
announced that it has awarded more than 60 college scholarships to
the children of LP team members for the 2023–2024 academic
year.
"We are not only preparing the leaders of
tomorrow but also giving back to our team members of today." –Brad
Southern
The LP Scholarship Program recognizes the accomplishments of LP
team members' children who excel in their studies and make positive
contributions to their communities.
"LP's scholarship allows me, an aspiring educator, to go to
school so I can enrich, inspire and teach the
next generation," said first-year scholarship recipient and
Clarks Summit University freshman Caleb
Morgan, son of LP Area HR Manager Jenny Morgan. "When LP offered my mother a job,
it opened the door to many opportunities, and I am proud to be a
product of LP. I may not be employed by the company, but its impact
on my life is indescribable. I'm overflowing with joy to be a
recipient of this scholarship."
For the 2023–2024 academic year, more than 20 first-time
recipients and nearly 40 renewal recipients received LP
scholarships. Recipients are awarded up to $6,000 for four years of full-time undergraduate
study or until they complete their academic program—whichever comes
first.
"It feels amazing to receive this scholarship because it shows
that a company like LP supports the community and the families of
its team members," said first-year scholarship recipient and
University of Saskatchewan freshman
Dominique LeBlanc, daughter of LP
Swan Valley Forester Paul LeBlanc. "I'm proud that my dad works for
LP, and I am very grateful that I was chosen for this
scholarship."
Since 2001, LP has provided more than $2.2 million in scholarships to help nearly 450
students complete their undergraduate college or vocational
education.
"Our team members are at the center of everything we do and by
supporting them and their families, we are Building a Better
World™," said LP Chair and CEO Brad
Southern. "Through the LP Scholarship Program, we are not
only preparing the leaders of tomorrow but also giving back to our
team members of today. We are proud of the work this year's
scholarship recipients have done in the classroom and in their
communities, and we look forward to supporting them as they
continue their academic journeys."
The LP Scholarship Program is administered by Scholarship
America. Submissions are evaluated based on each student's academic
record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and
community activities, honors, work experience, statement of goals
and aspirations, personal or family difficulties, and an outside
appraisal. For a student to be awarded a scholarship, their
financial need, as calculated by Scholarship America, must be
demonstrated.
