Mary Lynn Higgins Youth Fund
Mary Lynn Higgins Youth Fund provides travel scholarships to students at the elementary and secondary school level. These scholarships are awarded to students in good standing who would otherwise not be able to travel with their class due to financial restrictions. Students are nominated by one of the faculty and the nomination is endorsed by the Principal. 95% of the recipients are under the age of 13 and due to circumstances out of their control, the financial resources for their educational school trip are not available. They are students who are dedicated in school, are active in fundraising efforts and volunteer in the school community. All are extremely grateful for the financial assistance allowing them to be equal, included and have the opportunity to learn and socialize with their classmates. Sponsoring these students to attend their class trip provides inclusion and boosts self-esteem. Inclusion also ensures equality in education beyond the classroom. Ellison Travel & Tours is proud to be a charter sponsor.
