Lance Corporal Bradley J. Campus, USMC Memorial Scholarship Program

/in , /by

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 2026 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, 27 March 2026 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.

Shawn J. McDuff Memorial Scholarship

/in , /by

FOR SENIORS

Shawn J McDuff passed away at the age of 49 on December 31, 2017. He was afflicted with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and outlived all the expectations that were given to him by his medical team. He was the consummate and most loyal New England sports fan that lived. He served as the Muscular Dystrophy State Poster Child for two years which enabled him to teach people about his disease and that he was a typical child that wanted to play and learn as others do.

Shawn was the one of the first disabled students to attend public school versus homeschooling. He received his Bachelor’s degree of Social Work from Salem State University and worked his entire career at the Independent Living Center of the North Shore and Cape Ann. He was the Deputy Director of the Center. He was an advocate for all his clients and helped them with services, support and compassion so that they too could live independently. He had the use of only one finger and had a breathing machine on his chair to assist him yet he went to work every day to help others. He gave of himself for others at the job he loved for 27 years.

Eligible applicants must possess the qualities and traits that Shawn personified. Preference will be given to a student who achieves their academic goals, strives to live independently despite their disability with the intention to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
