Mission
THE JOSEPH JAMES MORELLI LEGACY FOUNDATION HONORS JOSEPH'S SPIRIT, BY SUPPORTING HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS DIAGNOSED WITH DYSLEXIA WHO ARE PLANNING TO PURSUE CAREERS IN STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATH) BY: 1. AWARDING SCHOLARSHIPS TO EASE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF EDUCATION AND RECOGNIZE ACHIEVEMENT 2. EMPOWERING OUR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS TO REALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL THROUGH THE MORELLI FOUNDATION MENTORING PROGRAM 3. CREATING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY IN WHICH OUR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS AND FAMILIES CAN FEEL SUPPORTED. THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS, WE CONVEY TO OUR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS THAT WE VIEW DYSLEXIA AS A LEARNING DIFFERENCE THAT CAN DRIVE THEM TO BE STRONGER, MORE DETERMINED, DEDICATED AND ABLE TO SHINE BRIGHTER, AS THEY LEARN TO BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES THE WAY WE BELIEVE IN THEM.
