Scholarship


B-Ball For Life Foundation, Inc.

~In Loving Memory of Alfred “Will”iam Lee III

Scholarship

The class of 2013, the year Will Lee would’ve graduated from high school, B-Ball For Life awarded its first (2) $1000 scholarships.   Every other year since then the foundation has awarded scholarships.  In 2015 we awarded (3) $1000 scholarships.

To eliminate any bias our scholarship review process includes a committee of essay readers (usually different people each year) from all over that read and score each essay. We remove ALL or any applicant identification from each essay, assigning the essay a number. They score, we add up the scores and determine each winner.

The Scholarship covers Camden County, Burlington County and Gloucester County Areas (Southern New Jersey Areas).
