The Barbara Leppe Scholarship for Women in Oregon supports the educational ambitions of young women with an independent spirit, mirroring the passion and values of its namesake, Barbara "Bobby" Leppe. This program offers a renewable scholarship of $7,000 per year for four years. The scholarship is designed for students who have demonstrated a strong desire to pursue higher education and do not restrict recipients to attend college within Oregon. It collaborates with College Possible and Stand for Children to identify and support deserving recipients.
