Brett Candela Lacrosse Scholarship

In honor of Brett's love and passion for the game, his family has lovingly created the Brett Candela Lacrosse Scholarship to support a central Ohio lacrosse player to further their education. Brett was a sports lover from the very beginning and excelled at all sports. He was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and played varsity lacrosse and basketball at the Wellington School. Brett was well known for being a leader on and off the field. During his lacrosse career, he was a four-year letter winner, winner of the Outstanding Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Awards, Top Midfielder Award, First Team All-State 2000, Second Team All-State 1999, 2001 and Wellington Male Athlete of the Year 2002. Brett served as a Captain of the team and his leadership was admired by all that knew him. Sadly, Brett was taken from all of us too soon. We know he would be proud to support another young lacrosse player in fulfilling their dreams. This scholarship is designed to carry on Brett's legacy by supporting graduating high school seniors who are central Ohio lacrosse players planning to attend a two- or four-year college or university in the United States. Up to $4,000 in scholarships are available annually.
