Greece Historical Society will again offer the Warrren C. Crandell Memorial Scholarship to honor a past member, a World War II veteran, and scholar. Warren worked as a teacher at Britton Road and Greece Olympia and was a lifelong student of history. In his will, Warren remembered the Greece Historical Society, so they are offering a $2,000 scholarship dedicated to his generosity.
The award is open to high school seniors who live in the Town of Greece applying to a two- or four-year college or university to study History or Education. The payment will be made directly to the student who can decide where best to apply the funds: books, tuition, room and board, or other needs. The full application is available at http://www.greecehistoricalsociety.org.
Submissions are due before Monday, March 23, 2025.
