The Jeffery Lipscomb SR (JLSR) Scholarship

The JLSR foundation was founded in 2017 by the family of Jeffery Lipscomb Sr. The foundation seeks to identify and award a book scholarship in the amount of $1,000.00 to an outstanding high school senior who aspires to continue their education at an accredited college/university. The applicant must be one who has experienced the death of a loved one rather a parent or a significant other. Applicants must excel academically, exhibit leadership potential, and demonstrate active participation within the local community.

The purpose of the scholarship is to facilitate and encourage students that have lost a loved one to further their education by assisting them with meeting the challenges and financial burdens of entering into college.

2. Provide proof of acceptance/registration to an accredited college/ university.
