On June 2, 2022, we were pleased to award two NHS Class of 1963 scholarships, each worth $3,200 (the highest amount ever), to two well qualified seniors from the NHS South Class of 2022, Amy Alvarado Blanco and Lourdes Silverio

In selecting Amy Alvarado Blanco for one of the two NHS Class of 1963 Scholarships for 2022, our NHS-1963 Alumni Committee was impressed not only with Amy's academic accomplishments while a student at NHS South (GPA of 4.62 and a ranking of #76 in her class), but we were most impressed with her involvement in multiple school and community activities, in particular, her involvement in Interact, the Cultural Alliance Club, the Soup Kitchen, and the Humane Society while also serving as an English tutor.
We believe Amy to be a most deserving recipient of one of this year’s NHS Class of 1963 scholarships |

In selecting Lourdes Silverio for the other Nashua High Class of 1963 Scholarships for 2022, our NHS-1963 Alumni Committee was made a aware of Lourdes' impressive academic accomplishments while a student at NHS South, with a GPA of 4.40 and a ranking of #119 in her class. In addition to her academic success, we were most impressed with her involvement outside the classroom, in particular her work with the Spanish speaking community to help translate and advocate for those who do not know the community and culture, her involvement volunteering at the United Way of Greater Nashua, and also for her participation in the Careers in Education program at NHS South. She also served as President of the Cultural Alliance Club, member of the Korean Club and President of the Latino Club. Lourdes passion and devotion to helping the Spanish community is remarkable, and we believe she is a most deserving recipient of one of this year’s NHS Class of 1963 scholarships.
