The Harary Memorial Fund, a program of the Washtenaw County LDA Chapter, provides scholarship assistance for reading tutoring for Washtenaw County students. The scholarship committee reviews applications as they are submitted and awards scholarships to those qualify.
What is the origin of the fund?
The Harary Memorial Fund
was established in 1994 by Mrs. Jayne Harary as a memorial to her daughter and
granddaughter who died in an accident.
Who is eligible for a scholarship?
Students who demonstrate both financial and educational needs are eligible. The Fund focuses on early intervention and seeks students who are highly motivated and whose parents/guardians will be supportive and committed. The focus is on intensive tutoring during the summer break from school. Students are expected to attend tutoring sessions regularly. Parents/Guardians are expected to provide support at home regularly. If these expectations are not met during the course of the scholarship, it may be discontinued by decision of the tutor and Harary Fund Committee.
