10th Annual Scholarship Program
Charles Gaeta, Executive Director of the Lynn Housing Authority and Neighborhood Development has announced $14,000 in scholarships presented to 21 deserving high school graduates.

The scholarship is open to all high school seniors who live in Lynn and to past or present participants in any LHAND housing program. There is a special category in honor of former Chairperson of the LHAND Board and longtime Lynn educator, Patricia Barton. This category recognizes a high school senior who has been accepted into the Education field for the fall. The 2008 recipients were chosen based on outstanding leadership, pride in their community and willingness to lend a helping hand.
The 2008 winners included: Erin Muschette, Tracey Scherrer, Tia Murkison, Courtney Sullivan, Maria Renken, Amanda Harney, Emely Pring, Eric Silva, Jillian Reddy, Kelsey Cowdell, Kristi Rebidue of Lynn Classical; Max Hooley and Thomas McPherson of St. Mary’s; Jordan Edgett of St. John’s Prep; Cinthia Martinex, Kristian Norris, Richard Contreras, Jr., Yonerky Santana and Elijah Goode-Morris of Lynn Tech; Jennifer Funicella of Lynn English and Shareena Werner of Essex Aggie.
The program is coordinated by Brandi Walker and the scholarship selection committee consists of LHAND employees, Charles Mihos, Patricia Jackson, James Finigan, Lisa Tobin, Lysa Newhall, Erin Ford and Charles Gaeta.
