Each of the following 18 Scholarship recipients received $750 last month at the conclusion of the Joseph F. Healey Memorial Golf Tournament. These recipients are all employed at area golf courses and qualified for a scholarship based on their knowledge of the life of Joseph F. Healey, their successful academic performance, their outstanding character and their involvement in community activities.
Organizers said, “This event is focused on providing scholarships to young men and women at local golf courses who are trying to further their education. This year, we awarded 18 scholarships to very deserving recipients, all in Joe’s name.”
At the close of the event, Thomas L. Mortimer, President and CEO of presenting sponsor Haverhill Bank, offered congratulations and best wishes to the students and presented a ceremonial check in the name of each recipient. Haverhill Bank has sponsored the tournament for more than 10 years.
