Ellen Reavey Awarded O’Neil Scholarship

Ellen Reavey, daughter of Rita and Michael Reavey, Thompson, was recently awarded the Claire Williams O’Neil Scholarship. Claire Williams O’Neil (1928-1980) was a teacher in the Susquehanna Community School District for over twenty years. Because of her dedication to education and the community, the Claire Williams O’Neil Foundation, a non-profit institution that sponsors educational and charitable initiatives on a community level, awards this scholarship to reflect her belief in the importance of education, both to the individual and to the community.

The scholarship is awarded to a Susquehanna Community High School student who has achieved a 90% cumulative grade point average at the end of eleventh grade, and who also possesses a sincere desire to pursue high quality university studies with the potential to contribute meaningfully to the community. The award is an $80,000 scholarship, paying $20,000 per year for four years. To date this award has totaled $480,000.

The Claire Williams O’Neil Scholarship has created an incentive for all seniors in a small, rural and economically disadvantaged school district to look well beyond the typical college options by applying to America’s best colleges and universities. It is very exciting that Ellen will join five other O’Neil Scholarship recipients that are currently enrolled at Rochester Institute of Technology, Syracuse University, Texas A & M, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame.

Ellen is a member of the National Honor Society and Valedictorian of her class. She has been active throughout her high school career in such activities as district, regional and all-state chorus, student council, the drama club and Spanish club, serving as president. She is a member of St. Martin of Tours Church and is active as a cantor and service volunteer. Ms. Reavey will be attending Boston University, majoring in Biomedical Engineering.
