Fulfilling Orlan “Mockey” Lett's Dream

Obtaining a degree of higher education was important to Orlan “Mockey” Lett. In 1929, however, Orlan was unable to accept his award of a full scholarship to Purdue University.

In 2009, the Orlan “Mockey” Lett Scholarship Endowment was established by Lett’s children to commemorate his love for education, and to provide the opportunity for a non-traditional student to receive financial assistance for higher education. Orlan “Mockey” Lett could not fulfill his dream during his lifetime, however, through his legacy he helps other fulfill theirs.
