LIFE INTERRUPTED FOUNDATION
LEGACY OF LOVE SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

December 2026 Funding Cycle

Applications Open: November 1, 2026
Application Deadline: November 30, 2026
Maximum Grant Amount: $500 per child

​

At Life Interrupted Foundation, we believe that a child's future should never be defined by the loss of someone they love.

​

The Legacy of Love Scholarship was created to honor children who have experienced the sudden or unexpected death of a parent or guardian by providing financial support for their future.

​

Through the generosity of our donors, we provide scholarships of up to $500 per eligible child, contributed directly to an approved 529 college savings account.

​

We understand that no amount of financial assistance can replace someone your child has lost. Our hope is that this scholarship provides a small measure of security, opportunity, and hope for the future.

​
