STUDENT AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP FROM
NEW HOPE HISTORICAL SOCIETY



 On May 23rd, New Hope-Solebury senior, Theodore Carroll, received the 2016 Francis Curley Scholarship from the New Hope Historical Society.  On hand to present the award were NHHS president, Carole Martin, NHHS FC Scholarship Committee members, Edwin Hild and Les Isbrandt, and NHHS Executive Director, Deborah Lang.


“Teddy Carroll was selected to receive this year’s award based on his scholastic and community achievements. Teddy is planning on attending West Chester University with a major in Political Science. In addition, his selection is one we believe Francis Curley would have agrees with”, said Edwin Hild.


The New Hope Historical Society established the Francis Curley Memorial Scholarship to be awarded to a civic minded New Hope Solebury High School senior who has displayed excellence in Social Studies and who is going on to a post secondary formal education in the broad field of Social Sciences. Over the years, the NHHS has awarded fifteen Francis Curley Scholarships to deserving NH-S HS seniors.

“The scholarship honors Francis Curley’s many outstanding contributions which fostered a greater public appreciation for New Hope’s unique history,” says Les Isbrandt who founded the Scholarship program in 2003.  “His work in the Historical Society and our community will forever be remembered as an excellent model of how one individual can make a lasting impact.  Until his death in 2001, Francis Curley was considered New Hope’s premier historian. After serving in the US Army during WWII, he taught history and social studies at the New Hope Solebury High School from 1957 to 1980. Francis was a member of the Lambertville and Bucks County Historical Societies and was an officer and director of the New Hope Historical Society. He also taught, as a volunteer, at Delaware Valley College”.


 New Hope-Solebury School District is a public education institution committed to providing students with the knowledge, skills, and habits they will need to function in a productive and fulfilling manner in their increasingly complex world.
