In Anne's Spirit supports two annual scholarships at Tufts University and Lexington High School.   For both scholarships students apply for the awards.

Anne E Borghesani Memorial Prize at Tufts http://ase.tufts.edu/ir/researchOppBorghesani.htm)

This prize, founded by Anne’s family and friends at the time of her death, is an incentive award that enables the recipient(s) to undertake a project, activity or plan of study in any field involving international issues. The prize is designed to inspire personal and intellectual growth, increase understanding of all peoples, and encourage a commitment to community reminiscent of that which was so evident in Anne.

                                                                          

Students from a variety of Tufts majors have used the prize to venture abroad and study, conduct research, participate in international internships, and become involved in social change movements. Borghesani award recipients have carried out their plans in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, Central and South America, the Middle East, and South Asia. The commitment of the recipients has continued after graduation as they move into fields in medicine, law, and teaching.  Several students have been granted Fulbright Awards for further study initiated as Borghesani scholars.

 

As the Borghesani Prize continues into its second decade at Tufts, the importance of understanding the world community has never been more apparent. The Borghesani Prize is an excellent vehicle to work toward that goal. The foundation continues to work to increase the value of the prize and the Borghesani family and classmates of Anne’s are actively involved in prize selection and maintain relationships with the recipients.

Anne E. Borghesani Memorial Prize at Lexington High School

This Memorial Prize at Lexington High recognizes a graduating female who best exemplifies Anne’s caring commitment to school and community service. The recipients continue to demonstrate their commitment to service during college and in their careers. Anne’s classmates, the LHS Class of 1985, created this yearly prize in 1990. The LHS committee maintains connections with past recipients of the Prize and encourages the continued development of the AEB Memorial Prize community.

                                                                              

In recognition of the significant work done by the Anne E. Borghesani Memorial Prize Committee, our Foundation has given yearly donations to the scholarship fund. We also provide an annual grant, enabling the committee to extend the recipient’s awards throughout their four years of college, as per academic review.
