Lu Hyde Scholarship

The Lucretia Hyde Scholarship has been established to honor Lu Hyde, an outstanding teacher at Brookside High School for 27 years. There will be a scholarship awarded every year at the BHS Award ceremony. This gift will be packaged directly to the student(s) in one of Lu’s favorite books, The Precious Present.

We have tried to reflect Lu’s love of books and commitment to higher education in the parameters set forth for this scholarship. Therefore, the following will be the criteria for receiving this scholarship:

1.  The student must intend to major in English related fields or education in college.

2.  The student must be accepted at a college/university prior to being awarded this scholarship.

3.  Financial need is not a requirement.

4.  The application deadline is March 29, 2017, before 3:00 pm. Turn into the Guidance Office.

A 5-member interdisciplinary council will judge all applications. This council’s decision will be based on the above criteria.

A plaque with the recipients’ names will be displayed in the hallway at Brookside High School describing Lu and the scholarship so that the local community will have an opportunity to be aware of the winners.
