A new scholarship fund, established by 1985 married classmates John and Susan Kennedy Benevento, will provide two annual $2,500 scholarships for at least the next 10 years. This is the largest single scholarship contribution/funding ever provided to the Bay Alumni Foundation. The Benevento Family Fund Scholarship will award these annual scholarships to two graduating seniors who have shown exceptional success in academics, have given back through community service, and have exemplified school spirit.
