$10,000 matching grant will help perpetuate work, history of North Side Improvement League<\/i><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>WATERTOWN \u2014 <\/b>The North Side Legacy Fund of the Northern New York Community Foundation recently presented four members of the Class of 2021 with scholarships totaling $2,000 to support their post-secondary educational goals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>The North Side Legacy Fund was established in 2019 as a permanent fund of the Northern New York Community Foundation to forever honor and perpetuate the history and heritage of the North Side Improvement League.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Graduating high school seniors who live in the City of Watertown as well as students from other areas who have family ties to the League were encouraged to apply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Scholarship recipients are Watertown-area residents who plan to enroll for the first time this fall as full-time undergraduate freshman students. Recipients of this one-year award each received $500 and were selected based on combined test scores, cumulative high school GPA, rank in class, personal data, essay scores, and applicant appraisals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201cWe are grateful to have a permanent home for the heritage, history and service of the North Side Improvement League. It is doing exactly what was envisioned,\u201d said Rande Richardson, Community Foundation executive director. \u201cIn this meaningful way, not only do we see the League\u2019s work perpetuated, we are finding that for those for whom the north side has special meaning have joined to help grow this permanent fund. We are hopeful to be able to meet the match by the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
