The Diane K. Kline Memorial Scholarship Fund has awarded scholarships to local scholars Taylor Alibrio, Gabe Staples and Sarah DuBois.

To date, the fund, established in 2010, has awarded more than $50,000 in scholarships for post-secondary education.

Taylor Alibrio of Meredith plans to study nursing specializing in neonatology at Quinnipiac University at Hamden, CT. Gabe Staples of Sandwich will be attending Providence College majoring in psychology with a minor in criminology and forensic science. Finally, Sarah Dubois of Moultonborough will attend the University of New Hampshire and study biomedical engineering. Each of these scholars received a $1,000 scholarship.

The scholarship fund is a memorial to Diane Kline, who was a career educator, having earned a bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Belknap College at Center Harbor in 1973. She loved life and people, especially children and taught in local elementary schools. She also co-founded and co-directed the Cotton-Tail College Pre-School in Center Harbor from 1982 to1990.

The memorial scholarship fund is open to all age groups and persons who have or are attending school within SAU Districts 2 and 45. This includes the towns of Ashland, Center Harbor, Sandwich, Moultonborough and Meredith. Scholarships are awarded primarily on merit. More information regarding the fund can be obtained by visiting the website at www.DKKMSF.org.
