From the Lynn Hispanic Scholarship Fund: The Lynn Hispanic Scholarship Fund invites you to apply for a chance to receive a scholarship of up to $5,000.

The mission of the Lynn Hispanic Scholarship Fund is to provide scholarships and post-secondary preparation and support to students of Latino and/or Hispanic ancestry who attend and are graduating from any of the high schools in Lynn. Recipients are chosen based on financial need, academic achievement, personal strengths, and community service participation. These scholarships are “meant to support our students financially, and serve as a reminder that their community believes in and supports their postsecondary aspirations”.

Applications will be screened by the LHSF and final selections will be made by the Lynn Hispanic Scholarship Fund Selection Committee. All decisions are final. Checks to the students will be issued in September 2026, after the students send us proof of their college/program registration.​
