2007 was christened as the Year of the Hibernian Scholarship Fund. Since then many initiatives have been started and fundraising events held. We awarded our first batch of scholarships in 2007. The 2008 winners have been selected and the awards are being presented.

• The Ladies AOH is sponsoring its second annual high school scholarship awarding $1000 towards tuition for the sophomore year in a Catholic high school. Click here  for the details.
• The Newport Irish Heritage Association has renamed its annual scholarship award in the name of the late Representative Paul Crowley. The NIHA will give $750.00 to a graduating high school senior who will be a college freshman in the fall of 2009. Click here  for the details.
