(June 6, 2024) — The Haddam Civic League Scholarship was established in 2015 to recognize students whose high school career reflects the values of good citizenship, respect, and an appreciation of the role communications plays in our society.
The Haddam Civic League is organized and operated for the purpose of collecting and disseminating news and information for the benefit of the citizens of our community through its on-line newspaper HaddamKillingworthNow.com and weekly publication Haddam-Killingworth News. The organization is guided by a sense of impartiality including presentation of opposing views, devoid of conflicts of interest and supported by research.
Any graduating senior who is a resident of Haddam or Killingworth, a member in good standing of his/her student body, a participant in extra-curricular activities and who has performed community service during his/her high school career is eligible for this scholarship. In addition, the student must have participated in one aspect of communications activity in high school and have contributed at least one article to the Haddam-Killingworth News newspaper. The scholarship award is for use in the student’s pursuit of higher education in the field of journalism or communications.
For 2024, the Haddam Civic League awarded its scholarship to two deserving seniors. The scholarship award is $1,000.00 for each student and is presented to Samantha Pach and Julia Mitchell. (photo above, left to right)
