IPSF ANNOUNCES TWO SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS

IPSF is proud to support students planning to pursue post-secondary education through two annual scholarship programs, the Kevin Armstrong Memorial Scholarship and Lee Bryn Brooks Community Service Scholarship.

The Kevin Armstrong Memorial Scholarship is awarded to one qualified IUSD high school senior who exemplifies the qualities of leadership, community service and academic excellence that defined Dr. Kevin Armstrong, IUSD Alumnus and IPSF Spirit of Excellence in Leadership Award recipient.

The Lee Bryn Brooks Community Service Scholarship is available to graduating IUSD high school students who demonstrate the qualities of community service and leadership that defined Lee Bryn Brooks. Lee served our school district for many years and we are proud to help keep her memory alive through this scholarship. These scholarships reinforce the commitment to serving the community by providing recognition and financial support to students who serve the Orange County community.

IPSF will begin accepting applications for both scholarships the week of February 8, and will honor the 2016 recipients at its annual Spirit of Community Luncheon on May 20.
