The Alex Lieber Memorial Scholarship was established to provide
financial assistance for people living with a bleeding disorder to
support their higher education.
The scholarship was set up in memory of Alexander Scott Lieber, who was
born in 1986 with severe hemophilia A. Alex passed away on December 21,
2003, at age 16 after a brief bout with bacterial meningitis. He is
greatly missed, but through this scholarship, his inquisitive and caring
spirit will live on.
