The Scholarship: The
Student Athlete Scholarship fund was created in May, 1999 following the death of Brian
Francis Reynolds, Lowell High School Class of 1950.
The awards are made annually in
May during Honors Night at the Lowell High School Auditorium.

previous winners!
The selection criteria is that the individual must be Lowell High
School senior who will be attending college following graduation, plus be a top student
and athlete. We also consider financial need.
We created this scholarship to honor the ideals our Dad held
dear...and taught us so well. Academics and sports are both important in the game of
life.
Throughout his life, he was an avid fan of both, spending countless hours supporting
Harvard fundraising and interviewing potential applicants. He also supported Lowell
High through his annual presentation of the Harvard Book Award and the Jack Leary Latin
Award, plus he supported The Friends of Lowell High in its infancy---and had to sell
lots of hotdogs and popcorn at track meets!
Before his death, we were able to tell him about setting up this
scholarship. He was both pleased and proud. So are we.

the Immaculate Conception Church. The article is titled "Boy, that kid's a
natural."

in the success of the Student-Athlete scholars who truly attain their dreams.
