Annual SYL Scholarship Winners for 2021! Shelton Youth Lacrosse honors both a male and female gradutating High School candidate each year with a $250 scholarship.
The 2021 candidates were asked to complete an essay with a look back at their 5/6th grade self and suggest advice to themselves knowing what they know now as a 12th grader. All of the essays received were fantastic and highlighted the need to put the time in, but also the importance of taking a moment to enjoy the competition, the friendships forged, and the life long bonds created from playing lacrosse together.
We are honored to recognize Zoe Yoon and William (Billy) Zaccagnini as this year’s recipients and have each earned a $250 scholarship towards their future academic endeavors.
Zoe will be graduating as the Salutatorian of Shelton High School’s Class of 2021. Zoe started playing lacrosse in 2015 as a sixth grader. In the fall, Zoe will be attending Northeastern University in the Honors Program studying Biochemistry and Philosophy on a Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Track. Zoe would like to thank all that helped her achieve her goals.
Billy will be Attending Western New England University majoring in Computer science with a master’s path in electrical engineering and will also have the opportunity to play Lacrosse at the next level. Billy would like to thank Shelton Youth Lacrosse and everyone along the line who has made him a better person as well as a player.
