We are proud to announce that we have earmarked funds for the Thomas M Lynch Archeology Field School Scholarship at Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth, New Hampshire for its second year. “Our scholarships will allow three high school or college students attend the two to four week field school and we are very proud to be a part of this program for another year” says Tom Lynch, owner of Lynch Pellet Stove Services. Tom went through this same program in 2015 and after talking to some of the students that were attending the field school, he knew that he could help with some of the costs for future students of the program.
Funds are taken from the company’s bottom line and is earmarked for different programs for the following year. “We never ask our service customers for donations for these programs. We are happy to give back to community by using funds that are directly taken from our bottom line” Lynch says. “We are very happy to do it. We are proud to do it”.
The scholarship recipients will be listed here when they have cleared the screening process. The scholarships are awarded to enrolled in a related field and show a financial need. Applicants are required to write an essay as to why they have chosen archeology or related field and demonstrate their desire to attend the field school.
