AT&T Connecticut today announced a $5,000 donation to the Friends of Seymour Public Library to help fund scholarships for graduating Seymour High School students.

There will be two $2,500 scholarships available to graduating Seymour High School students. The Friends of the Seymour Public Library is a non-profit volunteer organization that believes in the importance of books and libraries for people of all ages.

Each year, the Friends of the Seymour Public Library award monetary scholarships to graduating Seymour High School senior students who have an interest in pursuing a career in library media science, communication, history, political science, governmental studies or English. 

The students must demonstrate strong academic achievement, good citizenship, and community involvement.

“We’re committed to helping students with a passion for learning advance their education and attend college,” said Gerry Eckhardt of the Friends of Seymour Public Library. “Thanks to AT&T’s generosity, we will be able to help two students attend college this year and gain the tools necessary for successful careers.”

“AT&T is proud to support organizations like the Friends of Seymour Public Library that are committed to providing students with the opportunities and skills necessary to compete and thrive in today’s competitive marketplace,” said Kelly Wade Bettuchi, Director External and Legislative Affairs, AT&T Connecticut.

In addition to the AT&T Scholarships, the Friends of Seymour Public Library annually award two $300 scholarships to graduating Seymour High School students.
