Bishop Carroll grad receives Caulfield grant scholarship
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – Madelyn Lieb, a recent Bishop Carroll Catholic High School graduate, used her application for the Thomas Caulfield Veterans Remembered Scholarship as a way to honor her late grandfather, Ralph Lieb. One of the requirements for the award is that the individual be a veteran or have a parent or grandparent who served in the military. Ralph Lieb spent time in the Army during the Vietnam War era. 'April of 2024, my pap was in an accident on our farm, which ended up leading to him passing away,' said Lieb, a Nicktown resident. 'I was one of the first ones who responded to the scene. I was there. I was able to get him help. I was one of the last people with him before he had to go to the hospital. And I was always super-close with him. So just being able to do something like this in his memory is super-special.' Lieb was awarded the $1,000 scholarship from among approximately 60 applicants. 'I'm getting a tremendous thrill and honor out of this because it's so important to have individuals like Madelyn receive this funding for this scholarship,' Caulfield, an Army veteran and president/CEO of Veteran Community Initiatives, said Tuesday. 'I know how expensive everything is and how it's needed.' Other criteria included academic records, extracurricular activities and a commitment to making a positive impact on the community. Lieb was involved in numerous activities at Bishop Carroll, including basketball, soccer, track, student ambassador program, pro-life club, student evangelizers, and Students Against Destructive Decisions. She plans to study business at St. Francis University.
