The Henry J. Mulhern Scholarship

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.

All checks should be written out to Atlantic Technical College with the scholarship's title on the check.

My father passed on April 12, 2014, but my heart will not be troubled as I see my father’s return. Wherever I go, he will be there also.


I will see my father in every act of integrity. I will see my father in every affirmation of justice and in every gesture of respect. I will see my father in every manifestation of strength and in every instance of patient listening. I will see my father in every display of love, in every gem of wisdom, and in every generous deed. I will see my father in every illustration of hard work, in every testament of faith, in every quiet moment, in every measure of perseverance. I will see my father in every expression of forgiveness. I will see my father in every family. And I will see my father in every one of you.

In 2015, Joshua Faires was the first recipient of this award. Congratulations.
