Lance Corporal Bradley J. Campus, USMC Memorial Scholarship Program

FOR SENIORS

The purpose of the program is to provide scholarships in Bradley’s name to students in the public school system in their senior year of high school who will be attending a state or nationally accredited college or university in the fall of 2025 or have joined the U.S. Armed Forces during their senior year in high school.

These scholarships will be awarded on the basis of academic merit, an original essay, awards and recognition, and extracurricular and community service activities. Consideration will be given to those eligible applicants from all Lynn public high schools. Applications and all supporting materials must be received (hard copies) or emailed by Friday, 28 March 2025 by 5:00 EST and will be reviewed by the LCpl
Bradley Campus Memorial Scholarship Committee. This year we will award three (3) scholarships – each scholarship will be in the amount of $1,000.00.

Bradley J. Campus was born in Lynn, MA on February 15, 1962. He attended Lynn English High School, and upon graduation, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps. While stationed overseas, he was thinking about the next stage of his life, and goals he had. Bradley desired to open his own bakery in the North End of Boston after serving in the military.

Unfortunately, his dreams never came true, because on 23 October 1983 Bradley was killed in the Beirut bombing by two (2) suicide bombers who drove a truck into the Marine Barracks. Lance Corporal Bradley Campus was one (1) of 241 American service members that were killed on that day.

Bradley was known as a person who possessed the qualities of kindness, integrity, dedication, dependability, loyalty, sincerity, seriousness, humor, independence, and was an overall intelligent young man. We are called to honor our veterans, and the Committee is honored to be able to offer this scholarship in his name.
