Local resident honored at scholarship event LOWELL - A Belchertown resident was among scholarship recipients at UMass Lowell who recently participated in a gala event held as part of the university’s Celebration of Philanthropy. The first-ever Legacy of Giving luncheon at the UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center brought together the generous donors who have established scholarship funds at the university and the students who receive help through those funds. Junior Hayleigh Walker is among more than 440 students this year being assisted by one of the more than 220 endowed scholarships at the university. Students at UMass Lowell were awarded nearly $825,000 through endowed scholarships during the last academic year. The event gave students the opportunity to a say personal thank-you to donors and the benefactors had a chance to meet those who personally benefit from their generosity. Many of the donors are alumni of the university, who remember how important a helping hand is during college years; others are faculty and staff who work on campus and every day see the difference a UMass Lowell education makes to students. 27 99 Charge It!
