Hello,
My name is Riki Case and I’m the program administrator for the Joseph James Morelli Legacy Foundation Scholarship. I’m reaching out to you because last winter a student from your school applied for our scholarship and I would like to let you know about some changes that will impact future applicants.
As of this summer, the Joseph James Morelli Legacy Foundation is an independent 501c3 and is no longer operating under the umbrella of the Park City Community Foundation. Through the awarding of scholarships, we recognize students, who like Joseph struggle with dyslexia, and empower them to believe in themselves. We have launched our own website, which among other things provides information about eligibility for our scholarship as well as the application process. During our last application cycle, nearly 20% of applicants received a scholarship.
Our applications for the 2021 scholarship will open in January, 2021. If you have students at your school who have been diagnosed with dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia, and are planning on pursuing higher education in STEM, please let them know about our scholarship.
regards,
