DeSales Scholarship Recipient
|
Since its inception in 1967, the New York Lottery has generated $27 billion in aid to education, including $2.0 billion in fiscal year 2004-2005. In addition to revenue directly committed to elementary and secondary education, the lottery also sponsors several education programs. Under the leadership of Governor George Pataki, the LOT Scholarship was created to benefit truly well-rounded individuals who are involved in many aspects of high school life, not just academics. To date, more than 6,800 high school seniors have received the New York Lottery Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship and are now attending colleges and universities across the state. This year, the Lottery is once again awarding the Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship to one exceptional senior from every participating high school in New York State. Each winner receives a $4,000 scholarship, paid annually in $1,000 increments to be applied toward the cost of attendance at an accredited New York college, university, or trade school.
This scholarship award is intended for students who are involved in many areas of high school life including citizenship, community service participation, leadership skills and academics.
We are proud to announce the New York Lottery 2005 Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship recipient from DeSales High School is Laura Evangelista. This fall, Laura will be studying education at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York.
Congratulations on your accomplishment Laura, and best wishes in all of your future endeavors!
