Scholarship Program

Over the years the Class of 1965 has raised money to benefit the LEHS Scholarship Program.  Scholarships are presented at the Senior Awards Night held the week of Graduation.  Each year, during the month of May, students are asked to submit the following to their guidance councelors if they wish to be considered for a scholarship:  local scholarship application, college acceptance letter, financial aid award letter from a college, student aid report from FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and transcripts.  The guidance counselors review the documents and begin granting scholarships / awards based on need and / or scholarship requirements.

The 1965 Reunion / Alumni Committee rely on the school guidance department to select a recipient or, if possible, the Committee will nominate a particular student.  Once a student is selected, a Committee Member or representative(s) from the Class of 1965 attends the award ceremony and presents the scholarship from the Class of 1965.

In conjunction with our 50th Reunion to be held on Sept 11, 2015, we challenged you, our classmates, to contribute to our scholarship fund.  We had high hopes of giving a one-time special $5000 LEHS Class of ’65 Anniversary Scholarship at this year’s Awards Ceremony.  We are proud to announce that with your generous donations and the extremely generous anonymous matching donor, we raised not $5000, but $7000!  Thanks to you all for meeting this challenge.  We presented not one, but THREE, scholarships at this year’s Lynn English High School Awards night.  We awarded two $1000 scholarships and a third, Fiftieth Anniversary Scholarship of $5000.  THANK YOU so much to everyone who donated and to our anonymous donor.

To date, we have raised over $20,000 for the scholarship program.  This is an on-going program and donations are encouraged and welcome at any time.  Please contact  us by clicking HERE  and we will be glad to send you a form with mailing instructions.  When you contact us, put “scholarship donation form” in the subject line.

Our class has given out over $20,000 in scholarship awards to date and we hope to continue this important project to help support worthy LEHS students in their quest for knowledge.  In 2015, due to the generosity of our classmates and to a very generous anonymous matching donor, we gave out not one – $1000 scholarship, but 2 – $1000 scholarships and a special Fiftieth Anniversary $5000 scholarship.  The $1000 scholarships went to Edward Senn and Marni McManus.  The special Fiftieth Anniversary $5000 scholarship went to Thanh Dinh.
