There are certain character traits that we seek in potential Laurie's Scholars: 

Leadership, Ambition, Perseverance, and the Hope for making a positive difference for people with disabilities (PWDs) in the work force. Each scholar has the ambition and courage to overcome the barriers unique to PWDs in their communities. We seek to empower our scholars to become a leader for their local community.

​

Laurie Scholars has funded 11 scholars from 3 countries, Vietnam, Uganda & Peru, and in the process of reviewing additional scholars.
