Scholarships offered to Lincoln alums

Scholarships are currently available for former Lincoln Elementary School

students getting ready to graduate from high school and head on to

college.

The Bruce Crockard Scholarship, established last year in honor of

Lincoln’s first principal, sent two students off to college with an extra

$250 in their pockets last year. This year, the scholarship has increased

to an undetermined amount, said Debby Manning, spokesperson for the

Lincoln PTA.

The only criteria for applying is to have attended Lincoln up to at least

the sixth grade.

Applications are in the Corona del Mar High School counseling office, and

must be turned in by May 1.

“It’s just a great opportunity for anyone who needs extra help,” Manning

said. “There are no restrictions. Basically, we want to know what they

got out of attending Lincoln.”
