Two scholarships were awarded at the Cliffside Park High School Awards ceremony which took place on the High School field in May 2021. Both were for $1,500. We wish both much success in their future.
2021 Academy of Our Lady of Grace
Sofia Trujillo
Due to the overwhelming support we received in our initial fundraiser we were able to sponsor a scholarship to a student from The Academy of Our Lady of Grace. We want to thank Father Peter and Mrs. D’Amico for welcoming us back to AOLG. The school and the parish were very special to Michael. It was in this school and church where Michael learned compassion, kindness, and a strong faith in God. We were honored to be a part of this awards night. Mrs. D’Amico informed us that The recipient of our scholarship possess the same traits and personality as Michael. She excelled in AOLG and is going to attend Holy Angels. .
