Scholarship Sponsored by Joseph James Morelli Legacy Foundation

Value: $2,500
Awards Available: 20

The Joseph James Morelli Legacy Foundation’s mission is to honor Joseph’s spirit. Through the awarding of scholarships, we recognize students, who like Joseph struggle with dyslexia, and empower them to believe in themselves. The Joseph James Morelli Legacy Foundation supports high school and college students with dyslexia who wish to pursue a degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) field.

  • Scholarships are awarded annually in the amount of $500 to $2,500
  • Historically, approximately 15-20% of applicants are awarded a scholarship.
  • The majority of Morelli Scholars participate in our free Mentorship Program during their freshman year of college. By learning to manage stress and work smarter - not harder, most participants have found the experience invaluable to their college success. Many mentees choose to become mentors after their first year. Go to our Mentorship page to learn more.
