Morristown High School held its second virtual Senior Awards Ceremony on June 8, 2021. We were able to celebrate Emily Williamson as the Foundation’s 9th Scholarship recipient with a $3,000 special recognition award for an exceptional graduating senior. Emily demonstrates the qualities for which the scholarship is established which include integrity, acts of kindness and friendship that positively contributes to the school and community. Emily will be an asset to Bucknell University, which she will be attending this fall. We wish her he very best!

We are proud to announce the newest recipient of the LEFF scholarship at Morristown High School. Miss Anne Merritt stood out as the one who best exemplified integrity, kindness, and the importance of friendship. We wish her the very best as she makes plans to attend Northeastern University. Congratulations, Anne!

We are very pleased to announce that the recipient of our 2019 Lauren and Emily Failla Foundation Scholarship is Tommy Hebert.

Tommy is a terrific young man who started volunteering in the community well before high school. He is a talented musician and a serious science student, and he intends to study both fields at Providence College. Tommy is admired for his empathy and his compassion to others, and we could not be more pleased with the selection. We wish Tommy and his supportive parents the very best!
