Your road to becoming a Trojan

Through the generosity of alumnus Charles W. Averre, III, in memory of the vision and commitment of his parents, Margaret and Charles W. Averre, III and the other Lincoln School founding parents, the Founders Scholarship Fund (FSF) has been established in their honor. The scholarship is designated to finance the four-year courses of Secondary School, from 9th grade through 12th grade.

Mr. Averre III founded this program with the educational ideal of the fund will be dedicated to motivated students to fully develop their potential, with solid ethical values, committed to democracy, and capable of being successful in a multicultural, global society (Averre, C. 2007) Lincoln leadership, including the trustees, administrators, parents, teachers, and volunteers confirm that Lincoln must always maintain the highest standards of excellence in education.

There are many ways to measure excellence, but in keeping with the subject of scholarships, one objective is to enroll the most talented and bright young people in Costa Rica who have the potential to become great leaders of tomorrow in a global society, but don’t have the economic means.
