We, the family of the late Paulette H. Brown, humbly request your support in maintaining the Paulette H. Brown Memorial Scholarship. Established in 1986, this scholarship commemorates the enduring service, leadership and citizenship attributes of Paulette H. Brown, a proud and beloved member of the Shinnecock Nation.
Known to many as “Sis,” Paulette was an honor graduate of Southampton High School, an esteemed member of Adelphi University Ela Chi Alpha and Delta Mu Delta honor societies, as well as a recipient of a prestigious Adelphi Trustee Scholarship. She also was an elected elder of the Long Island Presbytery in the Shinnecock Presbyterian Church and an active participant in the honorable drum group Youngblood Singers, among many other social and cultural groups.
The Paulette H. Brown Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to Southampton High School graduates who embody Sis’s legacy. While the scholarship was initially established with Shinnecock students in mind, it has also been awarded to non-Indigenous applicants who have met the qualifications. To date, more than $150,000 has been awarded to over 70 Southampton High School graduates.
Our family is committed to investing in the academic future of Southampton High School students who strive to reach their potential. However, our ability to uphold this effort relies on your support. We hope you will join us honoring Sis’s memory by donating to the continued advancement of our East End community’s children. We are grateful for anything you can contribute.
Donations may be made via CashApp, $PauletteHBrownScholi, or PayPal, @PauletteHBrownScholi. Checks also may be sent “Attention Odalys Franco” and made payable to: Southampton School District, 70 Leland Lane, Southampton, NY 11968. Please write “Paulette H. Brown Scholarship” on the memo line.
