Founded in the early 1980s when only two scholarships were awarded (one male, one female), the program over the past three decades has continued to grow mirroring the growth of the sport on Long Island and nationwide. The scholarships were awarded on a breakfast held July 17 at the Huntington Hilton in Melville.
“The LIJSL has wonderful students and the Scholarship Committee received wonderful scholarship applications,” said Lynn Scarpati, chairperson of LIJSL’s Scholarship Committee. “I would like to exhort all the recipients to seize opportunities, make great friends and great choices while in college. And most importantly, don’t forget the LIJSL and the values you learned on the soccer field.”
