Our Impact
Since its inception in 1989, the scholarship fund has helped over two hundred students pursue college education. Scholarship recipients have attended colleges throughout Rhode Island and the US, including Brown University, URI, New England Tech, Providence College, Rhode Island College, Siena College, the University of Miami, and the Berklee College of Music.
One London/Riley scholar, a survivor of osteogenic sarcoma, graduated from Harvard Medical School. He is now a Board Certified gastroenterologist in private practice.
Another scholarship recipient was inspired to go back to school after her child’s battle with cancer. She is now a nurse at Hasbro Children’s Hospital.
Two other winners graduated from Law school; Michael from Roger Williams Law and Lenore from Western New England Law.
