The Luke Layman Legacy Scholarship
Award Amount: $2,500 Deadline: April 1st, 2026
This legacy scholarship honors Luke Layman, a founding member of the Foundation who passed away tragically in 2025. Luke was known for his compassion, ambition, and belief in the power of education. Through this scholarship, we seek to support a student who reflects his values and shares a passion for STEM and academic excellence.
The Great Lakes Empowered Scholars Foundation is driven by a group of dedicated Oakridge alumni, united by a profound commitment to turning the aspirations of fellow Eagles into reality. We seek outstanding candidates who embody unwavering passion and determination to make a lasting impact on the world.
