Leopold Schepp Scholarship

About Scholarship

The Leopold Schepp Foundation awards educational scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students who demonstrate a combination of fine character, academic excellence, financial need, compassion, a commitment to volunteerism and whose goal will benefit mankind. Undergraduates must be under 30 years of age and graduate students must be under 40 years of age at the time of application. High school seniors are eligible to apply for their first year in college. PhD candidates who have only the dissertation to complete and who are not enrolled in class full-time are not eligible. Scholars who are requesting aid for a second degree are not eligible. Due to limited funding, the number of applications given to students enrolled in graduate study at medical, law or business school is limited. A personal interview in New York City is required of all applicants. Students who have previously applied for a Leopold Schepp Foundation Scholarship and who were denied an award are not eligible to reapply. References are required from academic deans or advisors, professors or teachers, employers, and personal associates. Applicants must submit the "Request for an Application Form" via mail or email. There is no specific deadline for submitting the request. Another letter may be attached to the request if the applicant has special or extenuating circumstances that they would like for the scholarship committee to take into consideration. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
