The cornerstone of the Foundation’s education strategy is the Lee Scholarship Program, which ensures students are well positioned to enter the workforce upon graduation with minimum debt. Our scholars are entrepreneurial and embrace innovation. They understand the importance of public service and are leaders in and out of the classroom.
The Foundation’s largest scholarship program supports students at institutions of higher learning who are pursuing careers in engineering and other technical fields. As the cost of post-secondary education has increased so has the financial burden on students from middle income households. To address this critical gap in support, the Foundation’s scholarships target these students.
Through its scholarship program, the Foundation also supports students pursuing careers in mental health. Addressing the critical shortage of mental health professionals is a top priority for the Foundation.
