LGA Board Scholarships

These scholarships will be awarded to both male and female senior year players as part of the LHS Local Scholarship Program.  Applications will be coordinated by the LHS Guidance Department and the submission dates are still to be determined but typically happen in March and award winners will be announced at Baccalaureate night. Parents must be members in good standing of the LGA Booster Club for every year the student played soccer at LHS and athletes must have played soccer their senior year. There is additional criteria for the awards that includes achievement in academics, community involvement and a review of the essays included as part of the LHS application process. The number of scholarships given by the LGA change yearly and are determined by the amount of total fundraising by the teams during their annual fall fundraiser.

David Kelly Community Service Scholarship - x2 

This scholarship is awarded to both a male and female senior player on the Varsity Boys and Girls teams and will be presented at the end of season banquets.  The award honors the years of dedicated service Dave Kelly has given to Londonderry soccer and its youth.  The recipients will be selected by Dave Kelly based on a written essay (the author will be anonymous while in the selection process).  The theme of the essay is:  “Describe how soccer has played a role in your life”.  The player should relate how soccer has allowed them to contribute to the larger community and develop characteristics such as leadership, integrity, and responsibility.  There is no word limit for the essay.  It must be submitted via email to the boys and girls varsity head coach by November 4, 2022.  The coaches will remove the author information and submit the essays to the LGA Board, which will forward them to Dave Kelly for review and winner selection.
