As a result of our last reunion, we have been able to award $2,000 scholarships to deserving graduates from Los Alamos High School. The name of the scholarship program is the Shirley Fries Alumni Scholarship Fund. After reviewing 30 applicants for the 2008 Scholarship, a $2,000 scholarship will be awarded to Angela Helm a 2008 LAHS graduate.          From left to right, Jae Riebe, Angela Helm, Stephanie "Stevie" Bruington Segura and Christina "Chris" Weaver.  Jae, Stevie and Chris are 3 of the 4 members of the Scholarship Committee.

We awarded one scholarship in 1995-2001, with the exception of 1996 when two were awarded.  We raised our scholarship to $1,000 in 2000 from $500 previously.  And I am happy to add that since the 2005 reunion we have raised the yearly scholarship to $2,000.  Do we have anyone interested in contributing additional proceeds?  If so please make the check out to the LAHS Alumni Association and write the word Scholarship on the memo line and mail it to LAHS Alumni Association, 6101 Sequoia Rd NW G2, Albuquerque NM 87120-3425.

Since 2004, the following generous classmates have contributed funds towards the scholarship fund:

Many thanks to the dear friends of Shirley Fries and her family who have so generously contributed to the LAHS Scholarship Fund in her name and who have by their kind expressions of comfort and sympathy made special tribute to her life and her memory.
