Scholarship Recipients

The Lena Romano Memorial Scholarship was established to honor Lena’s legacy by investing in students who demonstrate resilience, character, and the courage to pursue their future — no matter the path they choose.

Now in our second year, this scholarship has already begun building a legacy of its own. We look forward to celebrating this year’s recipient at Old Forge High School’s Awards Night and adding another name to the story Lena started. Check back here as we build a lasting record of the students her legacy continues to inspire.

The $10,000 scholarship is awarded annually to graduating seniors of Old Forge High School who plan to pursue higher education in any field of study.


Strong applicants will demonstrate:

  • Academic commitment — a sincere effort toward their education and a record of growth
  • Character and leadership — involvement in activities, service, or roles that reflect responsibility and care for others
  • Resilience — the ability to face adversity, push through it, and keep moving forward


Lena knew what it meant to keep going when things were hard. This scholarship looks for students who carry that same spirit.
