MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 3, 2025
TO: All Members, Board of Commissioners
FROM: Lysandra M. Shaw, $k
Executive Director
SUBJECT: Continuation of Authority Scholarship
The attached resolution provides for the continuation of the NNRHA scholarship
program for our Public Housing residents and Housing Choice Voucher program
participants. Since 1989, we have been able to provide two scholarships annually in the
amount of $1,000 each for four years to graduating seniors or others who wish to
pursue higher education who reside in public or assisted housing. These two
scholarships are awarded each year at the Scholarship Banquet along with those
supported by our private scholarship donors. Last year, a total of twelve (12)
scholarships were awarded to our public housing residents and Section 8 clients. This
year’s banquet will be held at the Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center on May 2™ at
5:30 p.m.
Funds are available to continue this program with two scholarships for 2025 and
adoption of the resolution is recommended.Jump to an indexed page (43 of 43)
