Scholarship Opportunities

Johanson Scholarship

The late Carl G. Johanson served SHELD for 18 years, beginning in 1954 as Department Engineer and retiring in 1972 after 10 years as Manager. A scholarship fund was established at his bequest to assure that Johanson's legacy of service will continue into future generations.

The fund provides scholarship money to worthy students who live in South Hadley, regardless of race, color, creed or gender. Recipients must be U.S. citizens, graduates or soon-to-be-graduates of South Hadley High School, and planning to study engineering at the college level. There are no restrictions on the branch of engineering to be studied or the college to be attended. Current college engineering students are also eligible.

Trustees of the fund include the three SHELD Light Board members, the SHELD Manager, and the South Hadley Superintendent of Schools. Scholarships are awarded annually to the student or students chosen by majority vote of the trustees.

Applications are available at the SHELD office and at the South Hadley High School guidance office.
