Atha Adams Scholarship

Established by Janice Adams Lessard ‘68 in recognition of her mother Atha Adams. Atha worked as a Registered Nurse during World War 2 and after, all the while diligently saving, a dollar at a time toward her daughter’s college education. This was much to the displeasure of her husband who thought becoming a plumber would be the best vocation for his daughter. The purpose of this endowment shall be to provide recognition and financial assistance to students enrolled in the Teacher Education program at Keene State College who are specializing in science.
