LEX Global Leaders ScholarshipThis scholarship honors the memory of wise and compassionate leaders in the LEX community. We were so fortunate to be able to collaborate with them to do the meaningful work of promoting cross-cultural understanding.
The LEX Global Leaders Scholarship aims to promote international understanding by assisting those who would not otherwise be able to participate in a life-changing opportunity on a LEX exchange program or overseas internship. The scholarship is open to eligible members of LEX, LEX exchange program partners, and the general public in the U.S. and Canada.

Each of these beloved people had an impact on many lives that cannot be conveyed in a few sentences. This scholarship is one small way we hope to treasure their memories, and carry on their work.
