It is intended to support graduating high school seniors from Haddam, Higganum or Haddam Neck who embody Amanda’s spirit of giving back to their community and demonstrate a commitment to service.
Applications for the scholarship must be postmarked by April 25, 2025. Interested students can access the application form on the Haddam Women’s Club website or through Naviance.
