Greater Lynn Senior Services has announced it is accepting applications from high school seniors for the Lique Human Services Scholarship.
Two students who attend one of the eight schools within the GLSS service area will be selected as recipients of the $5,000 scholarship. The eight schools are Lynn English High School, Lynn Classical High School, KIPP Academy Lynn Collegiate, Lynn Vocational Technical Institute, St. Mary’s High School, Lynnfield High School, Saugus High School, and Swampscott High School.
According to GLSS, the scholarships are directed toward students who have an interest in or are considering a career in human services, and who have made an impact in their community through community service. The scholarship is dedicated to and named after longtime GLSS Executive Director Vince Lique, who died in 2006.
“Vince’s legacy is firmly rooted in his compassion for people. He measured success by the quality of his service to and advocacy for others,” GLSS CEO Kathryn Burns said in a press release. “I believe in Vince’s theory that one’s individual success is directly related to the benefits received by those around us. The Lique Human Services Scholarship honors the man and his service by encouraging others to do the same.”
Applications are due by April 5. They can be found at each school’s guidance office or completed online at www.glssnet/LiqueScholarship.
