New Haven Scholarship Fund was founded in 1959 by
Jean Paton Lovell (1894-1996)
History
Jean Paton Lovell was a mathematics teacher who had students with great
academic potential but without the finances to further their education. That first
year, Jean raised $400 from friends, matched it with $400 of her own money and
awarded eight $100 scholarships. Today, the all-volunteer Board of Directors,
several of whom were themselves recipients of NHSF scholarships, continue with
Mrs. Lovell's vision.
"A good education is important because it contributes to world peace. Properly
educated persons apply their knowledge, insight, understanding, and fine ideals
to meet more adequately their family needs and beyond that, to develop the
justice which alone can earn for us 'Peace on earth, good will to men.' "
