This year’s scholarship recipients mark the program’s 40th year of providing exceptional students with awards.

“The league would like to acknowledge and express it’s appreciation for the tremendous support the program has received from sponsors and foundations,” LIJSL managing director Steve Padaetz said. “The continued backing from our supporters has been an essential piece to the Program’s longstanding 40 years of success.”
