Lowell Alumni Association

Scholarships/Awards Each year, the Lowell Alumni Association solicits applications for our college scholarship program from graduating seniors. Our Scholarship Committee then reviews those applications, conducts interviews and makes final selections of recipients in May. Although scholarship awards are announced in May, we dont pay college scholarships until recipients enroll in college and provide us with proof of enrollment. Given our June 30 fiscal year-end, that means we award scholarships in one fiscal year but actually make payment in the following fiscal year. We awarded college scholarships totaling more than $235,000 to 108 students in May 2024. We also provided over $9,200 in Advanced Placement exam fee subsidies to 67 students with financial need in May 2024 and special academic awards (Vicki Chin Writing Award, Ivan Barker Math Award, Dong Lieu Science Prize) totaling $9,600 to eight students in May 2024.

Alumni Programs/Services The Lowell Alumni Association communicates regularly with our more than 33,000 alumni, former faculty and other friends of Lowell High School. We also support and facilitated a significant number of class reunions in fiscal year 2023-24, including some events that had been postponed due to COVID-19. The LAA Executive Director supports those efforts as well as various alumni relations activities, including alumni participation in Lowells annual commencement exercises.
