Cullman’s Jalyn McClintock, a student at Wallace State, and Jeremy Seckfort, a student at Troy University, have been selected as recipients of this year’s LP Building Solutions Scholarship Program, with each receiving up to $10,000 over four years to support their undergraduate or technical education.
The 2025 class includes 45 first-time and 55 renewal recipients, the first time the program has awarded 100 scholarships in a single year. Each scholarship provides up to $10,000 over four years toward the cost of full-time undergraduate studies at an accredited college, university, or vocational/technical school.
“Supporting our team members and their families is central to our success,” said LP Chair and CEO Brad Southern. “We are proud to recognize these students for their hard work—both in the classroom and in their communities. It is an honor to support them as they take the next steps in their academic and professional journeys.”
Since its inception in 2001, the LP Scholarship Program has awarded more than $2.7 million in funding through more than 1,700 individual scholarships, benefiting more than 500 students. In 2024, LP increased the annual award from $1,500 to $2,500 and more than doubled the number of new recipients, reinforcing its longtime commitment to education.
“Receiving a scholarship from LP means much more than financial support—it’s a sign of support, recognition, and a sense of family,” said Brianne Kieta, a freshman at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and a first-time scholarship recipient. Brianne is the daughter of LP National Accounts Manager Angie Kieta. “It helps me pursue my education, honors the effort I’ve put in, and shows just how much LP has influenced my life and my family’s. To me, LP truly feels like family.”
Administered by Scholarship America, the LP Scholarship Program considers academic performance, leadership, community involvement, work experience and financial need.
In addition to the LP Scholarship Program for team members’ children, LP has enhanced its Tuition Assistance Program to better support employees pursuing further education. The program now covers 100% of eligible education expenses (up to the IRS maximum) for U.S. and Canadian team members enrolled in qualified degree or vocational programs.
