Five Scholarships Awarded for 2009-10
The Helpers Fund awarded five $1,000 scholarships for the 2009-2010 school year. Mary Jane
Dower, head of the Scholarship Committee, made her recommendations at the May 2009 Board
Meeting where her recommendations were unanimously accepted.
There were three JSP Science Scholarships awarded, and two Helpers Fund Award Scholarships.
The JSP Science Scholarship was endowed by a local family and administered by the Fund. It seeks
students who intend to follow a course of study in the area of Science. There are no financials limitations
on this scholarship, though the financial standing is a consideration. The Helpers Fund’s
Awards are for those students who are not following the traditional four year curriculum at a college
or university, but may require some college attendance. Financial status is an important element in
the awarding the scholarship.
