Lipman has awarded more than $60,000 in scholarships to both current and former high school students in Lee and Collier counties.
“We know that without outside sources like Lipman, higher education for many students in our area would not be possible,” said Jaime Weisinger, Lipman’s Director of Community Relations. “That’s why, back in 2003, we started this program to help deserving youth achieve their aspirations.”
11 seniors received first-time scholarships totaling $13,000. College students who have already received funding from Lipman were awarded more than $50,000 in scholarship renewals. Since 2003, more than $500,000 in scholarships have been awarded to local students, according to a press release.
Lipman also offers a textbook reimbursement program to students of Lee and Collier counties who continue their education after senior year.
“At Lipman, we’re invested in our local community and we want to ensure that the next generation has the tools they need to succeed,” added Weisinger, a member of the Lipman family. “Growing up, college was a priority for my family. Our goal is that every student seeking higher education can make it a reality through this opportunity.”
Thank you for your continuing contributions, Lipman!
