Class of 1968 Scholarship

I can’t state strongly enough how important IPEI is to the students of the Ithaca schools. IPEI is behind so much that enriches and excites the daily experiences of so many students throughout the district.

    Nano Win – Class of 1968 Scholarship Award Winner

    This award has been established by alumni of the Ithaca High School class of 1968. This is awarded to a senior with a strong academic record who plans to further their education. In keeping with the spirit of social change which was so prevalent in 1968, the recipient should demonstrate empathy and concern for others that has led to a passionate commitment to community service to create positive change – not only in Ithaca but in society at large.

    Thank you to Eric Shano, Evan Dentes, Bruce Beem-Miller and Betty Finch Murphy who have lead the way to establishing this annual award fund through IPEI for students at Ithaca High School.
