New Hampshire Red Sox Scholarship Recipients to be introduced at Fenway Park Sunday

Red Sox and NH Governor Maggie Hassan to Present 35 New Hampshire Public School Seniors with $1,000 Scholarships

Before Sunday's game at Fenway Park against the Cleveland Indians, the Boston Red Sox will introduce the 35 recipients of the 2013 New Hampshire Red Sox Scholarship program. The Red Sox Foundation-funded program is now in its fourth year and awards college-bound seniors from 35 public high schools across New Hampshire with $1,000 scholarships towards their college education. One graduating senior from each of the 35 high schools is chosen based on academic performance, financial aid eligibility, and demonstrated community service.

The scholarship program was introduced in 2010 by then-New Hampshire Governor John Lynch and Red Sox Principal Owner John W. Henry and wife Linda Pizzuti Henry. The program has since been expanded from 10 qualifying New Hampshire public schools in its inaugural year, to 35 in 2012.

"We look forward to honoring the 35 recipients of the New Hampshire Scholarship program on Sunday," said Red Sox Foundation Board Member Linda Pizzuti Henry. "These 35 Granite State students have not only demonstrated their academic excellence in the classroom, they have also shown their commitment to community service. We hope they will continue to set an example and inspire others as they pursue their college education."

On the field to honor the students on Sunday will be New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan and Red Sox Foundation Interim Executive Director Gena Borson.
