Maureen O'Donnell NJCL Scholarship, with an application deadline in February, offers numerous awards of $1500 each. Restricted to those with financial need.

Description

The Maureen O'Donnell NJCL Scholarship was established in 1989 by the Virginia JCL and Pro Scientia in memory of Mrs. O'Donnell for her years of service in the classroom. Mrs. O'Donnell, beloved Latin teacher, and VJCL co-chair, was dedicated to the Classics and teaching. This award is for NJCL members and can be paid directly to the recipient for use on any education-related expenses or can be paid to the school. Special consideration will also be given to those applicants who intend to teach Latin, Greek, or the Classical Humanities. The award will be used for educational expenses after graduation from high school. Applicants must submit letters of recommendation from two adults - their Latin/Greek/ancient studies teacher and one other adult who knows them well. Recommendations will be submitted through a separate link. Applicants may visit the scholarship's website or contact the NJCL Programs & Scholastic Services Chair for more information.
