Sympatheia SCHOLARSHIP
We are made for each other
The purpose of the Sympatheia scholarship is to recognize the investment one LaRue County High School student has made in their community by serving others. It could be a big initiative or the accumulation of small acts of kindness a student has engaged in - but the result is the same, a better community because we are made for each other.
As Ryan Holiday writes, “When other people suffer, we suffer. When the world suffers, we suffer. We are all unified and share the same substance. We share the same hopes and dreams.” The students applying for this scholarship understand that notion.
