At the service May 16, Nancy Winninger announced that this year we presented two Robert H. Life Scholarship Awards.

 Sarah Guiel will be attending Holyoke Community College to complete her General Education Credits. She is interested in Environmental Science and plans to transfer after two years to a four-year college to pursue her interest in Science, further her education to attain an Associate’s Degree

.Mary Elias-Gillette (Meg) will be entering her second year at Bay Path University. She is in the Women in Science Honors Program and on the Dean’s List. Meg is majoring in Biochemistry and her goal is to attend medical school focusing on emergency medicine and possibly become an emergency room physician.

The awards are named for Reverend Robert H. Life, pastor of the Haydenville Congregational Church from 1904-1934. He was a man of firm faith and was an inspiration to his congregation. In his Will, he set up a fund to assist the members of his beloved church. The income from this trust fund is used to provide scholarships for any Williamsburg/Haydenville resident who is furthering their education and is an active member or child of an active member

.Congratulations to our scholarship recipients. It was an honor to learn about your continuing education plans and we wish you all the best in your studies!
