New Hampshire Red Sox Service Scholarship Recipients to be Introduced at Fenway Park Saturday

BOSTON, MA - The Boston Red Sox will introduce the 40 recipients of the New Hampshire Red Sox Service Scholarships during a pregame ceremony at Fenway Park before the Red Sox-Tigers game on Saturday, May 17. The program awards students from 40 public high schools across New Hampshire with $1,000 scholarships towards their college education based on academic performance, financial aid eligibility, and most importantly, demonstrated community service.

The service 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 expanded from 10 qualifying New Hampshire public schools in its inaugural year, to 40 in 2014. One student from each of the 40 high schools is chosen for the award. The service scholarships are now also available in all six New England states.

"We look forward to honoring these community-minded students from the Granite State at Fenway Park on Saturday," said Red Sox Foundation Board Member Linda Pizzuti Henry. "The service scholarships recognize those who have made a difference in their communities and we hope they serve as inspiration for others to do the same."

The 40 scholarship recipients will be greeted on the field at Fenway Park by New Hampshire Director of Legislative Affairs and Policy Chris Kennedy, New Hampshire Assistant Policy Director Amy Kennedy, and Red Sox Foundation Interim Executive Director Gena Borson.
