Scholarships

 

The LVIS mission includes a major investment in scholarships and we continue to review our commitment to this important contribution to the community. In 2022, we added five additional scholarships, bringing the total to 24 awards to graduating East Hampton high school seniors. LVIS now awards $190,000 in scholarships, including four $10,000 scholarships, sixteen $8,000 scholarships and four $4,000 scholarships to high school seniors. Each award is spread out over two years. LVIS also awards the Madelon DeVoe scholarship to two adult women returning to college ($3000 each for one year). Recipients are chosen based on academic performance, extra-curricular activities, written essays, and community service.

East Hampton High School Scholarships are open to any graduating senior at East Hampton High School who has lived in the district for at least two consecutive years at the time of their graduation. The application is part of EHHS’s Common Scholarship Application and is due to the EHHS Guidance office by end of the school day on March 11, 2024.

The Madelon DeVoe Scholarship is for adult women currently enrolled or planning to enroll in college. Applicants must be East Hampton Town residents for at least two years and be at least 25 years old. Applications are available and must be typed and emailed to info2@lvis.org or delivered to the LVIS office at 95 Main Street by end of day Friday after Thanksgiving each year. This scholarship is presented to the winners (there could be up to two) during the December membership meeting each year.

CONGRATULATIONS to the 2023 LVIS Scholarship winners.

LVIS Book Awards

Each year LVIS presents Book Awards to graduating fifth graders from John M. Marshall Elementary School and sixth, seventh and eighth graders at the East Hampton Middle School. In the fifth grade, teachers choose students who have shown excellence in three categories: four students for Individual Progress, four students for Quality of Participation and four students for Highest Scholastic Achievement

On the Middle School level, Contribution to the School Environment is added as a fourth category. Twelve students receive awards, one for each of the four categories in each grade.
