(IGP) is pleased to announce that the Alexea G. Karpinski Memorial Scholarship application is now available for any graduating high school senior who is a current resident of New Jersey and enrolling full-time in an accredited undergraduate program/school, technical/vocational training, or the military upon graduation. The scholarship award amount is $2,253 and the number of scholarships to be awarded will vary based upon the number of eligible applicants and funds available. According to Danielle and Mike Karpinski, Alexea's parents and IGP founders, "We are very pleased that due to the overwhelming success of our fundraising efforts in 2022, we will be able to offer multiple scholarships this year to graduating seniors across the state of New Jersey." They continued, "It is important for us to support Lex's legacy of dedication, kindness, encouragement, passion and positive attitude with student athletes who share her desire to make a difference on and off the athletic field." Last June, the First Annual Alexea G. Karpinski Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $2,253 was awarded to Grace Iervolino, a Readington, NJ resident, graduating senior and varsity lacrosse player at Hunterdon Central Regional High School. The amount of the scholarship was chosen to reflect the jersey numbers Lex wore at Hunterdon Central, #22 for lacrosse and #53 for field hockey. In their inaugural year, Iron Girl Project, Inc. hosted three events raising $25,000 for the scholarship fund. This year, IGP will host the Third Annual Laps For Lex 5K & 1M Run/Walk to be held at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater on June 4, followed by the Links For Lex Second Annual Golf Outing on September 18 and the Flex For Lex Workout Circuit Challenge on November 20. Scholarship eligibility requirements and applications, in addition to IGP's Laps For Lex Race Registration and sponsorship opportunities, can be found by visiting the www.IronGirlProject.org website or by emailing: IronGirlProject@gmail.com for more information. The scholarship application deadline is April 30, 2023. Iron Girl Project, Inc. was specifically created to honor the memory of Alexea "Lex" Karpinski, an aspiring two-sport D1 athlete and Honor Roll student in her junior year at Hunterdon Central Regional High School who passed away suddenly in November of 2020. It supports high school student athletes on their journey to create their own legacy, one which has a positive impact on their teammates, families and communities.
