Burlington Shawsheen Tech Students Receive Scholarships

For the second straight year, more than 90 seniors at Shawsheen Valley Technical High School earned the prestigious John and Abigail Adams Scholarship.

It’s the second straight year that 91 students have been honored, tied for the most in Shawsheen’s history.

“It is particularly gratifying to see increasing numbers of Adams scholarship recipients at Shawsheen Tech each year,” said Tim Broadrick, Shawsheen’s Superintendent-Director. “This is a testament not only to the hard work of our dedicated professional staff, but also to the work ethic and resilience of our students. I couldn’t be more proud.”

Eligible students score in the Advanced category in either the Mathematics or the English Language Arts section of the Grade 10 MCAS test and score in the Proficient or Advanced category on the second subject (Mathematics or English Language Arts). These students also have a combined MCAS score on these assessments that ranks in the top 25 percent in their school district.

Seven Burlington students were honored including Dennis DelFavero, Austin Hamilton, Elisabeth Heghinian, Jessica Keddy, Allan McCombs, Meredith Meehan and Cameron Tierney.

Students awarded John and Abigail Adams Scholarship by the Department of Education receive full tuition to state universities.
