My
father, who passed on April 12th, 2014, was a man who believed in
supporting education. He was the son of Irish immigrants, the first
person in his family to achieve a college degree. He taught me that
education was one of the most important gifts I could give myself. My
dad spent his life giving to others, especially through his dedication
to immigrant students and those who may not have had access to the same
financial and support services as others. He was on the Board of
Directors for the Notre Dame Education Center in Boston and was instrumental in helping the Sisters of Notre Dame obtain a new building for their school. In his memory and as a testament to his legacy, I hope to continue my father's mission by establishing the Henry J. Mulhern Scholarship Fund.

Information about The Henry J. Mulhern Scholarship
The
scholarship began in the 2014-2015 school year (continuing on a yearly
basis), and is awarded to a graduating student at Atlantic Technical
College Magnet High School.
The recipient best exemplifies values my father encouraged: authenticity, integrity, compassion, work ethic, and helping others.
Of course, academic achievement is a consideration, as well as financial need, but the ultimate determination is based on character and the values outlined above.
The
scholarship is for ATC High School students only at this point, but as
more revenue is raised through the publication of my books (Amazon), I
hope to offer the scholarship to students throughout the Broward School
system, and perhaps the country.
The money from the scholarship may be used for any educational purpose.
If you are an educator and find any of the resources on this website helpful, perhaps you will consider donating to this scholarship.
