The American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE), Northeast Penn Section, has established the William Lesek Memorial Scholarship Fund at Johnson College to support students pursuing careers in architectural drafting and design.
Beginning in the 2025–26 academic year, the annual scholarship will provide a total of $2,000, awarding $1,000 each to two students enrolled in the College’s Architectural Drafting & Design Technology program. Preference will be given to students who demonstrate financial need, maintain good academic standing, and are actively engaged in the College community.
Funding for the scholarship was made possible through a variety of fundraising efforts conducted by ASHE Northeast Penn in honor of the late William Lesek.
“We are incredibly grateful to the American Society of Highway Engineers, Northeast Penn Section, for their generous contribution and partnership,” said Dr. Katie Pittelli, president and CEO of Johnson College. “This scholarship honors the memory of William Lesek while directly benefiting our students as they work toward entering the workforce and building successful careers.”
