Puritan Lawn Memorial Park Awards 6 Teens College Scholarships

(PEABODY,MA) On Saturday, June 12, 2021 Directors of the Puritan Lawn Educational Foundation awarded a total of $16,000 in educational scholarships for the 2021-2022 academic year to six worthy recipients based on need and academic talent. This year’s award recipients are: Elizabeth Pierce of Lynn (UMass Amherst), Jennifer Robles of Lynn (UMass Lowell), Hailey Lewis of Lynn (University of Maine), Jasandra Luciano of Saugus (Salem State University), Kasey Cummings of Revere (UMass Boston), and Patrick Kiley of Danvers (Northeastern University).

While we assisted a greater number of students than any previous year, the Puritan Lawn Foundation was overwhelmed with worthy applicants to the scholarship program from local students across eastern Massachusetts. Each of these six recipients were selected due to their exemplary character and maturity, academic success, and a deep ability to care for others. The Foundation Directors were so proud to meet each candidate in person and reward their amazing achievements.

Since 1997 the Foundation has supported students who have lost their parents, have custody of themselves and also their younger siblings, have survived & recovered from addictions (their own or their loved ones'), survived abuse, experienced poverty, escaped war-torn countries, and the list goes on. These kids are resilient and driven, and we are honored to know them and to assist in any way that we can. To help these students receive financial assistance and emotional support to further their education, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Puritan Lawn Educational Foundation: https://www.puritanlawn.com/EducationFoundation. Sponsorships are also available, please contact Krystle Brown at 978.535.3660 to learn more.

The Puritan Lawn Memorial Park Educational Foundation was established by Peabody’s own Puritan Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery and Crematory in 1997 in order to assist area students with expenses related to their educational endeavors. Scholarships are awarded to students who have faced extreme hardship during their high school years yet are highly motivated to continue their education. The Foundation’s goal is to provide four-year scholarships to deserving youths interested in continuing their education with two year and four-year college programs as well as trade schools. 100% of funds raised support educational scholarships for local youth. To help support the mission of the educational foundation, please contact Krystle Brown at Krystle@puritanlawn.com or 978.535.3660.

Applications will be released for 2022 scholarships in March.
