FOR SENIORS

On April 14, 2025, the Boston Globe Foundation will open the application process for the 39th Boston Globe Foundation/Richard J. Phelps Scholar-Athlete scholarship program.

The program, thanks to funds generously provided by the Foundation and Mr. Richard Phelps, is open to high school seniors. This year, 18 total scholarships valued at $4,000 apiece will be awarded to one male and one female from MIAA Districts 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, one male and one female from Central Mass. (Districts 2/3), and one male and female from the city of Boston. Also, with the enthusiastic support of Richard Phelps, again, we will also be selecting one male and one female from NEPSAC schools in Eastern Massachusetts. The scholarships will be awarded based on excellence in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities, and will go directly toward each student’s post-secondary education.

Please have each of your candidates fill out the 2025 application and return it to the Boston Globe Foundation by Monday, May 12. Candidates must supply the required information with the application (official high school transcript and letter of recommendation from the principal, a guidance counselor/teacher, or a coach).

An independent panel of judges will gather to judge the submissions in May and scholarship recipients will be notified by June 2.

What kind of student-athlete are we looking for? The ultimate example of a scholar-athlete should:
• Play three sports. One is OK, but he/she better be All-Scholastic in that sport. Two is better and more impressive, but three … that’s the jackpot.
• Be captain of those three sports. Our scholar-athlete should be the leader of his/her team.
• Have league honors. Do others think much of this player? A three-time league all-star in a single sport is very impressive. And all-star honors in two different sports is even more impressive.
• Have strong academics. High-class rank, strong SAT scores, difficult courses and headed to college.
• Extracurricular activities both in and out of school. We want the Senior Class President. We want the editor of the yearbook. We want the person who organized an entire team to shovel driveways for the elderly this winter (I know, the storms were limited), or rake leaves last fall. We’re looking for someone with a real commitment to serving their school and outside community.

In September of 1870, Esther Hill Hawks became one of the first female physicians in the city of Lynn, Massachusetts. She died on May 6, 1906, and left much of her estate to charity.

By decree dated August 9, 1982 of the Probate Court, distributions are restricted to public charitable purposes. In recent years this has been mainly in the form of scholarships (not exceeding tuition and fees) to graduating Lynn High School seniors for full-time college attendance, and renewals of such scholarships in subsequent years.

The number and amount of first-time awards varies from year to year and from grantee to grantee. In recent years, out of 30-50 total grants, there were approximately 10 first-time grants, with an average grant of about $3000-$5000 each. Awards are usually announced by late-June/early-July and paid directly to the college thereafter. Awards are need-based but consider achievement, vary between awardees, do not exceed tuition and fees, or a level set annually by the Trustees.

The deadline is May 1, 2025.
