MARCH 2008
New York State AOH offers a scholarship to a
current high school senior.
Is there a member of your family who is graduating from high school this
June? The New York
State Board generously awards the Austin V. Carew State Scholarship each
year to a deserving
student whose parents/guardians are active members and who have taken
their Major Degree.
The student must sit for our scholarship exam which tests knowledge of
Irish history. In
addition the student’s SAT scores are also considered in determining the
recipient of the
scholarship. Enclosed you will find the necessary information and
application which must be
completed for a student to qualify for the exam. If you have any
questions, send me an e-mail
message tomconway35@yahoo.com.
Let’s get the news of this scholarship out to all our
members. I personally request that all division presidents bring this to
the attention of
their members. Divisions may make as many copies of the application as
needed.
Some reminders:
1) Parents or guardians of the student must have Major Degree.
2) Student must take our Irish history exam.
3) SAT scores must be provided.
4) Applications must be sent to the Scholarship Chairman by May 16, 2008
5) Information on the scholarship exam will follow upon receipt of
application.
This scholarship is funded by the James F. Hayes Memorial Golf
Tournament, which will be held
in East Durham this year on May 2nd. This is also the New York State
Board weekend in East
Durham. Get your clubs out and pre-pare for a great day of sport and
fellowship on the
links while at the same time supporting our scholar-ship. Information on
the golf outing is
also enclosed in this newsletter. This year, with the help of Division 7
East Islip and
their Past President Pat Philbin, we are offering a raffle to augment
the Jim Hayes Golf
Tournament. “A Day at the Ballpark” will entitle the winner to 4 tickets
to Yankee Stadium
or Mets Shea Stadium for a game and date of their choice during the 2008
Season (Some
restrictions may apply). The chances are priced at $5 each, 3 for $10,
or 5 for $15. The
drawing will also take place the weekend of the NYS board meeting in
East Durham on May 3rd.
See you in East Durham!
