LPA AND OUR MISSION
Little People of America, Inc., is a nonprofit organization that provides support and information to people of short stature and their families. Membership is offered to those individuals who have a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" or shorter. Their short stature is generally caused by one of the more than 400 medical conditions known as dwarfism. Membership is also available to relatives and interested professionals who work with short-statured individuals. To read more, please visit our About LPA and Mission pages.

Some Helpful Tips...
- Complete the online application by the deadline, April 6. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
- Proofread, proofread, and proofread! The Scholarship Committee considers spelling and grammar when reviewing applications.
- Craft a thank you letter if you receive an award. Other than being the right thing to do, if you are planning to apply for another scholarship in the future, a thank you letter for past scholarships impresses the scholarship committee.
- Review a prior year's webinar recording, The Inside Scoop on LPA Scholarships.
- Get involved with LPA! We are a volunteer organization. Showing a willingness to volunteer reveals much about you to the Scholarship Committee. Ask your local chapter or district officer how you can be of service. Indicate how you plan to help with your personal statement.
- If you need help, do not be afraid to ask! A high school counselor, college advisor, your parents, or even another college student may all be of service. You can also email scholarship@lpaonlne.org at any time with questions.
