2014 BRENDAN GRANT SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED TO BRENDAN
SHEA, MICAELA MCKAY AND CHRIS KELLY
BELMONT - The thirteenth annual Brendan Grant Scholarships were awarded at
the Senior Student Assembly at Belmont High School in Belmont, MA on
Friday, 30 May 2014. The 2014 recipients are class of 2014 graduating
Seniors Brendan Shea, Micaela McKay and Christopher Kelly.
 A
single scholarship was awarded in 2002 and 2003, and in 2004 it was
expanded to two annual scholarships. In 2008 the scholarships were
expanded from two to three recipients for a college-bound Senior from the
Belmont High School Varsity Baseball Team, Varsity Softball Team., and
Varsity Wrestling Team. The team affiliations for each recipient are
Brendan Shea representing baseball, Micaela McKay representing softball,
and Chris Kelly representing wrestling. In the fall of 2014, each will be
attending their respective schools and sincere congratulations are
extended to them and their families (the University of MA at Lowell,
University of Maryland, and Plymouth State University, respectively).
The Brendan Grant Scholarship has been established in memory of
Brendan Grant, the accomplished 19-year old Belmont baseball player who
was fatally injured in an outfield collision during a Senior Babe Ruth
game in June 2001. The three annual scholarships provide assistance to a
senior member of the Belmont High School varsity baseball, softball and
wrestling teams who will be attending an institution of higher learning
after graduation. The scholarship is intended to reward a player who
possesses the same positive spirit and leadership skills for which Brendan
was known. Click here for more information about the scholarship and about
past recipients.
All contributions to support these annual
scholarship awards are greatly appreciated, and can be made payable to and
mailed to "The Brendan Grant Foundation", P.O. Box 184, Belmont, MA
02478-4024.
